Coke comes from Happiness Factory

Coca Cola has launched an animated television commercial demonstrating the joys of life behind the scenes in a Coke vending machine.

Coca Cola Happiness Factory

Bottle Top placed by animated manA bearded man pushes a Euro into a coke vending machine. On the inside, the coin rolls down a chute and onto the steep side of a hill. In a scene reminiscent of Robots, the coin is plunged into a waterfall while an empty bottle is carried by flying creatures with rotating blades. The bottle is filled by a tube suspended from a hole in the sky. Fluffy creatures bounce to the filled bottle and kiss it with affection. A lid is catapulted onto the bottle. Next scene is a wintry landscape, complete with snowmen and icicles. The bottle is cooled rapidly and dropped through a hole in the ice. Finally the bottle makes its way through a hero’s parade and rolled out into the vending machine chute. The young man removes the bottle, takes a swig, looks back in wonder before walking off into the traffic.

The super: “The Coke side of life”.
