(01) The FIRST flat-top can of
Coca-Cola. It was a, 12oz. in USA and 10oz. in Canada, can
introduced in 1959/1960. Because of the red and white diamond
pattern, today's collectors have dubbed the can the "Diamond Can".
Coca-Cola was originally made available in cans for the military in
1955.
-
(02) This is the second flat-top
can of Coca Cola introduced some year after. The can has a bottle in
the middle of the diamond.
-
(03) This is the third flat-top
can of Coca Cola introduced at the end of '60. The new design has
not a diamond, but a multi-diamonds look. This is the last diamond
design produced. Because of the small red and white diamonds,
today's collectors have dubbed the can "Harlequin Can".

1983 GRAND OPENING COCA COLA CAN RITCHFIELD UTAH.
-
(05) This particular can was a
test cans that were only given out to Coke executives in order to
see whether they were going to go ahead with the idea of canning
Coca Cola in plastic cans. They later produced 4 plastic cans. This
Clear can was not available during their 2 month testmarket. It is
says "Canners Name and address Appear in this place"
-
(06) 1985:
In 1985-86' Coca-Cola test marketed these
recyclable cans. They included Coke (New Coke), Coca-Cola Classic,
Diet Coke and Sprite in the 12 oz. size. The cans had several
problems including the inability to support the weight of other
cases placed on top of them, warping, cost, etc. Plans for these
unusual cans were halted and they never went into regular
production.

(07) Side A: "Christy & Dave - 26
September 1981". This can was produced in a small amount in 1981 for the
wedding of Christy and Dave. Dave was at that time employed at the Coca

NEVER been for sale in any supermarket. It was only available to guests

(16) NEW! - In April 1985,
Coca Cola interduced NEW COKE! It was a marketing disaster. The can
has the NEW silver label at the top of the can, this label was used
for a 6 month period.
-
(16) Coke II
- Short Story: In the 1985, Coke made "New Coke" to replace their original
formula. Well after many complaints, Coke returned with Coke Classic
(minus the Surgar replaced with cheaper Corn Syrup), and the "New
Coke" was renamed to Coke II. Everyone started buying the Coke
Classic, and as time went on, less and less places carry Coke II.
-
(17)(ENG) This is the infamous
1996 US Contour Can. It was tested in 3 US Cities in 96 but then
pulled due to problems with it fitting into vending machines.
(ITA) Questa è una lattina che l'america ha prodotto come prototipo
in 3 città per far assomigliare la lattina alla bottiglia, infatti
la lattina da 355ml ha l'alluminio sagomato come la famosa e
classica bottiglietta. Poi si sono accorti che a causa della strana
forma avevano problemi nei macchinari di produzione e anche
nell'inserire le lattine dei distributori automatici. Quindi hanno
interrotto subito la produzione.
-
(18) This is the PROTOTYPE of the
can above. A rare never been filled Coca Cola can from the original
coke "contour can project". This can was not marketed with this
graphic, instead coke mass produced a can with a full length pictute
of a bottle on the side. There are 2 variants: "always" logo colorer
in BLUE and in GREEN.

(19) 1992: The first strange
Prototype of can with 32 sides. Perhaps a first idea about the
contour can. It is my understanding that they were made to reflect
more light an be more visible on the shelf + they took a bit less
aluminum to produce thus cost less.
-
(20) 1994: As above.
-
(21) You look a Coca Cola can
given only to Boeing Employees to commemorate the last 737-400 made

- (22) This Coke can was produced in 1997 and
was distributed to the EMPLOYEES of the Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling
Company.
- (23) This is a 250ml (8,4oz) coca cola can.
The USA Coca Cola Company is trying to get into a new market, the
interesting market which is now (2002/03) dominated by Red Bull
and other higher priced energy drinks. The Coca Cola logo is
tastefully ghosted in red on the red background. Strange design!
There are two different versions of this can, one with bottle logo
design, and the other with the wave logo design.
- (24) Second Coca-Cola Classic (8,4oz) slim
can. Canned by the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta Georgia. Have never
run into this type, maybe standard in some market somewhere some
place, if so let me know. There is a mistery: below the nutrition
facts is printed "Series 2, No.5".

- (27) During Passover, people who follow
the Ashkenazi Jewish tradition are forbidden from consuming
products containing certain grains, including corn.
Therefore, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company produces a limited
amount of Coca-Cola Classic sweetened with sugar, which is sold
in grocery stores in areas with larger Jewish populations.
You can identify Kosher Coca-Cola by looking for the seal of the
Chicago Rabbinical Council on the can: K .
