Shoppers spot ‘legendary' Coca-Cola bottles back in stores 12 years after being discontinued in the UK

The Sun23-04-2025
COCA-COLA fans are fizzing with excitement after spotting a "legendary" range of bottles back in shops – more than a decade after it was last seen.
The iconic 'Share a Coke' campaign has made its comeback and has already been spotted at Home Bargains.

One customer posted the nostalgic find on Instagram page New Food Spotter UK, with a video showing big 1.75l bottles of Coca-Cola going for £1.99 – that's 50p cheaper than the usual £2.49 retail price.
The same clip also showed 330ml cans selling for just 65p each.
Printed on the back of each can were popular names including Billie, Stephen, Louise, Henry and Charlie, bringing back memories of the original viral campaign.
First launched in 2013, the 'Share a Coke' bottles featured personalised names on the label, replacing the brand logo with names of friends and family.
Now, more than a decade later, they're back – and Coke has brought the campaign into 2025 with even more names and phrases to collect.
The return also includes nicknames and terms of endearment like 'My Bestie', 'My Bae', 'My Mate' and 'My Day One'.
Shoppers can even scan a QR code on packs to create their very own personalised virtual Coca-Cola can, thanks to a digital tool called Coke Memory Maker.
The feature lets users generate memes and videos with mates – all part of Coke's push to connect a new generation to one of its most iconic campaigns.
And while it's officially rolling out nationwide now, shoppers at Home Bargains are already bagging them.
As always with in-store stock, it can vary by location – so it's worth checking your nearest branch if you want to snap one up.
When 'Share a Coke' was first rolled out in Australia, using the top names at the time, it quickly soared in popularity.
It then was rolled out to over 80 countries - and the re-launch will be another global campaign.
Earlier this week, Coca-Cola fans were raving over the company's version of one of the world's most recognisable drinks as it lands in UK stores for the first time.
Its Bacardi & Coca-Cola ready-to-drink beverage, which is a take on the famed Cuba Libre cocktail, is available now across major supermarkets.
Cuba Libres are usually made with Bacardi Rum, Coca-Cola, and lime, and the beverage maker hopes its pre-mixed drink will achieve the same taste as a freshly made cocktail.
The 250ml cans have an RRP of £2.30 and are 5% alcohol by volume (ABV).
The news comes after the drinks giant recently released pre-mixed 330ml cans of Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola Cherry which available to purchase in Tesco.
Remember to compare prices
It is important go always shop around when buying items as you might find a cheaper alternative at another store.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Taylor Swift fans are convinced singer is engaged as star reveals telling sign in lock screen snap with Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift fans were sent into a frenzy on Thursday evening as they speculated the star might finally be engaged after Travis Kelce took to Instagram to share a rare photo dump of the couple's 'offseason adventures' together. Marking the first time the NFL star has featured the pop sensation on his social media, the pair appeared smitten in the series of pictures. However there was one snap in particular that caught fans eyes after they went wild over Travis' lock screen snap of the two of them. Taylor appeared to flaunt her ring finger in the grainy snap as fans speculated over whether Travis has popped the question. They penned: 'travis's lockscreen is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged ??????'; 'Not to be that person but in his lock screen is she holding up her hand with a ring on her finger'; 'is it an engagement photo???' Others wrote: 'yes.. yes i did zoom into his lockscreen'; 'yes, I did blow up picture number 3 to see a picture of both of them on his iPhone!!!'; 'THE LOCK SCREEN !?' 'Is Taylor Swift engaged to Travis Kelce? Fans are swooning over Travis' lockscreen' 'everyone pointing out his lock screen is a photo of them but i also think hers is too like literally she deserves the world…' Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Taylor also had a snap of her and Travis as her screensaver as they notice a glimpse of the black and white jumper he wore during their trip to Lake Como together in May 2024. The pair have been together for two years and a source recently told that the couple are 'all in' and her parents are prepared to give their blessing. Meanwhile last month speculation reached a new high after a friend of the couple gave a clue the couple had secretly tied the knot. The couple were on the guest list to celebrate the marriage of Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz. And Kmet's event planner, Ellie Nottoli, shared behind-the-scenes details from the wedding, including a photo of an invitation letter that was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce.'

Strictly star slams ‘manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe

Keep scrolling to see what the star had to say star swipe Strictly star slams 'manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe A FORMER Strictly star has branded the TV industry as 'manipulative' after quitting fame for OnlyFans. John Whaite rose to fame after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2012. 4 TV star John Whaite has competed in Strictly and Great British Bake Off Credit: PA 4 He danced with Johannes Radebe on Strictly Credit: PA 4 The star returned to OnlyFans earlier this year Credit: Instagram The 36-year-old later competed on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing as runner-up behind Rose Ayling-Ellis. Speaking to Gay Times Magazine, John opened up about his experiences in the TV industry. The baker and presenter said: "I think the deeper conversation here is about welfare generally within the TV industry. I think that is still very much an elusive beast. "As soon as Strictly finishes, it's like, get out the hotel, get out the flat, go home, but that is a life- altering event for the individual who's been subject to the headlines, often at the hand of these shows, because these shows sometimes feed stories to the media. "TV is manipulative and it's a distortion of truth, there's always an ulterior motive. "People aren't being fed the unadulterated, objective truth. And I certainly don't subscribe to that." Continuing, John recounted how he was "around 23" during his time on Bake Off. He recalled thinking his "existence hinged on being successful in television." John added: "But I think when you go through all these different permutations of your life, you start to realise that the b******t just does not matter. "What actually matters is your health, your sanity, your loved ones, your family, be it biological or chosen." Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' Elsewhere in the interview, John revealed a family member had called him "disgusting" due to his OnlyFans content. The Sun previously revealed how he made a return to the platform earlier this year. The star had been posting a series of very explicit videos and images for his legion of subscribers on the adult-only website. Sources close to the star – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on Strictly - said: 'John has been telling friends he feels really empowered by posting what he wants. 'He's in amazing shape and is proud of how far he has come. 'He's says it really has nothing to do with money and it's not about helping fund his bakery business. 'John doesn't care what anyone else thinks. "He's really happy with the content he is creating.'
