Opening a Coke becomes a two-person job

In the past few years, the innovative marking teams behind Coca-Cola’s campaigns throughout the world have put our names on cans, created bottle-powered arcade games and taken a cheer-collecting bus across Argentina. And this inventive trend now continues with Bogota-based Leo Burnett’s introduction of the friendly twist bottle, which features a unique lid that can only be opened when paired with another.

In just over a week, the YouTube video showing the campaign in action has tallied up over 1.5 million views and the momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
