Coca-Cola is bringing back an iconic campaign
3
Cans and bottles will have a wider range of names this summer
In 2013, Coca Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign saw customers able to buy a range of personalised cans and bottles.
Among the most popular products was the classic coke bottle, with the customer's name printed on the logo in place of the brand name.
On May 1, the new and improved launch will offer even more names to choose from, including nicknames, surname and pet names.
These will be particularly marketed towards the younger generation, according to the brand.
Buyers will be able to pick bottle with terms like 'My Bestie', 'My Bae', 'My Mate', 'My Fam' and 'My Day One.'
And, they can ever scan a QR code to create a totally unique tag.
Coca-Cola will then introduce a new feature of the campaign this summer - called Coke Memory Maker.
The online digital experience allows you to create memes with your friends and family and lets you make your own videos.
"Share a Coke" was first rolled out in Australia, where it quickly soared in popularity, before being rolled out in 80 countries around the world.
Advertising bosses received plaudits for their work on the campaign - with multiple awards at the Creative Effectiveness Lion Awards at Cannes.
Coca Cola Christmas, over the years
The re-launch will be another global campaign, according to Coca Cola.
Elodie Peribere, Senior Marketing Director UK & Ireland, said the company was "excited" bring back the iconic bottles.
She said: ''Share a Coke' is about celebrating the magic of human connections, one personalised Coca-Cola pack at a time.
"Returning after its initial popularity in 2013, we're excited to be able to give consumers more ways to connect over a Coca-Cola.
"Given the nation's fondness for nicknames, Brits have the chance to personalise a can with a surname, term of affection or nickname of choice, meaning people can create something totally unique to them."
It comes after fans raved over the company's new Bacardi & Coca-Cola ready-to-drink beverage, hailing it a "game changer".
The drink is a take on the famed Cuba Libre cocktail.
The 250ml cans have an RRP of £2.30 and are 5 per cent alcohol by volume (ABV).

Weekly horoscope for July 6 – July 12: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes. Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20 12 The final hot-shot planet move of 2025 finds Uranus upending your chart of communication and contacts, bringing with it a general sense of excitement. You may feel an urge to break bonds or cut talks, but it's best to stick with situations until you are truly sure. In love, the less someone says, the more they can mean. A full moon of surprise success can help restart a business plan. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 12 What matters most to you is in your personal spotlight, as you see that value can lie so much deeper than cash. "Surprise" decisions linked to your future can feel so familiar once you make them, and as major planets move, this can be the week to do so. The next seven years can be quite an adventure. A learning path may start slow but speed up very fast, so give it some thought. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 12 Your own sign welcomes the most unruly, imaginative of planets, Uranus, to start a seven-year spell of making your own happiness your hot pick. You know you have sidelined true needs and feelings; now excuses fade and excitement can flourish. In love, the full moon's emotional depth helps your eyes say everything your heart feels. If you're single, your soulmate has a transforming job. CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 12 Keeping secrets may have become second nature, but it's time now to break the habit. You have support from planets of independence and honesty, but the true determination comes from inside yourself. A more open atmosphere, at home and at work, is where you can grow best. In love terms, too, holding back any doubts may feel like a strong move, but it can weaken you. LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 12 Love is on the brink of a new phase that may challenge you more, but also reward you better. If you're with a partner and resist two-way change because you're still unsure, this week's big planet moves can inspire courage. If you're single, ditching a past dating plan and starting afresh, with input from your oldest friend, can be a positive move. Shimmering surfaces link to luck. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEPT 22 12 Your pure personal creativity is intensified by the full moon, so big ideas can come to you in the smallest, quietest moments. But you will instantly recognize these as something special. Matching music to special moments is a key skill all week, and you can also return to a goal everyone else may have considered too outrageous for you. It's time to prove them all wrong! LIBRA SEPT 23 - OCT 23 12 So many barriers fall, boundaries extend, and doors open wide as planet Uranus shifts to a fellow air sign. Maximizing this momentous zodiac time may not always be easy, but you can learn so much about yourself and your life. Resetting romance more on your terms can be one outcome. If you're single, this includes road-testing two worlds-apart potential romances. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 12 Everything you think you know can be changing along with Uranus; a time of new self-awareness can begin. You now see where you may have made too many sacrifices or wasted too much time, and you focus instead on being your most authentic self. This can make your closest bonds mean more to you, as you see and accept clearly what you need to do next. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 12 The right deal is not always the most obvious in love and life. This week you feel rebellion stir deep inside, plus the ability to shake up situations everyone else may feel are fixed. The next seven years can take you towards new titles, looks, addresses, plus a partnership that refreshes romance every day and never gets dull. A money-minded moon monitors impulse buys. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 12 Your career chart is more open than it's been for years, so this can be your moment to turn vague ambitions into serious action. Making one call or writing one message can be Step One on a thrilling new path. Plus your mindset changes, to see mistakes as positive steps, not negative obstacles. In love, with the Capricorn full moon, you can say and do unusually daring things. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 18 12 You've never been one to follow the pack or the rules, and this week's Uranus shift emphasizes how unique you truly are. There's such a strong chart creative streak, but it's a good idea to take your time, don't rush headlong and headstrong into the first option. Better ones may be ahead. Passion is wide awake, and rousing a previously sleeping part of your heart. PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 12 It really matters to you to be a good friend and family member. But your chart question this week asks - do you get back as much as you give? It may be time to scale back your gifts, in everything from time to lifts to cash, if you know this is a one-way situation. In love, feeling secure in yourself starts with accepting your flaws. If single, your dream date has a guidance job.
