One thing about humans is that we forget the unimportant things. Like how many slogans Coca-Cola has had in its (or our) lifetime. And you’d actually be surprised at how many are listed.
Since 2009, their main slogan has been Open Happiness, but since the world has come to realise that Coca-Cola actually kills you, that slogan doesn’t quite fit well, does it. It’s more like, Open Death.
So the brand has come up with yet another new slogan. And can you guess what it is?
Taste the Feeling
And this slogan won’t just be for ol’ Coca-Cola, but for its siblings Diet Coke (Coke Light) and Coke Zero as well. The move to umbrella all three products under one image was decided upon as, although people love Coca-Cola, some prefer to drink its counterparts for “diet” or “health” reasons.
Now, here’s a bit of information for you: All of Coca-Cola’s previous slogans, since its development in 1886. Read and enjoy:
