So I have decided that today's wondrous post will be a rant dedicated to all those people who became utterly confused by the holiday Coke can. So my husband brings me home some Coke. I prefer cans to bottles so that is what he got me. At first glance I thought it might be diet but upon reading (did you catch that?) READING, I quickly discovered that it was not Diet Coke. My husband says, "These are holiday Coke cans or something." Mystery solved! No big deal right. I mean I had already riddled it out myself from taking the time to read the can, but now all was right with the world because there was a reason for the chaos.
So, loving the holidays like I do, I carried on enjoying my holiday Coke can with the cute polar bears on it. The next thing I know there is a new Coke comercial explaining the switch. I think okay so there are apparently some people who can't read. The next and most interesting part of the comercial says, "hey we're gonna change it back." Wait! What?!! Yes that is correct, so many people complained about the new coke can and the confusion it caused them that Coke is going to get rid of the holiday can!!!
Coke had not only found a pretty can to use for the holidays to pair with its already established holiday polar bears, but was also teaming with the World Wildlife Fund to raise money for actual polar bears and their dwindling habitat. But, alas, polar bears are going to have to take a back seat to illiteracy in America. Lets just hope with the switch back to the comforting red can, Coke will raise money to get these people some hooked on phonics!!!
