    The personalising of cans of coke is a marketing tool that coke are doing. Its on a roadshow all over Ireland. You can see where and when it is on their facebook page here:

    Picture this. You're sitting at work one day, with an inconspicuous can of coke at the edge of your desk. Along comes an unsuspecting co worker for a chat. "Hey Max, what's the story?" The sly dog that Jim is, he goes to shnake your can of coke into his pocket, when BAM, he sees your name. His plan is foiled.

    In fairness, if you're name was Max, I'd suggest an easier solution would be having a can of that sugar free Pepsi stuff instead.......

    How is this a bargain?
    It is just an advertisement by Coca-Cola.

    I don't think you appreciate the beauty of a personalised can. It's priceless, and we are getting it for the price one and a half 6 packs. Bargain by my standards.

    Yes, its marketing. They reckon it could increase this summer's sales by between 20 and 25%. They trialled it in Greece last year, and this year have rolled it out to 16 other EU countries.

    Wonder would the refuse names such as Adolf, Jesus, Pepsi, Homer etc.

    Damn, I bet a Coke can with Pepsi on it would be worth something.

    Ok so once you have your very own personalized can - do you display it on the mantel (unopened) or do you actually drink it? Would you then put the empty Coke can on display?

    I suppose you could take loads of photos with the can and then bury it in a time capsule for future generations to find? The coke would probably turn in to powder , evaporate but the can would last.

    This has been my predicament since my last post. I gave my guidance counsellor a call, but she was busy unfortunately. I think there'd be no harm in some meditation. I'll try that now and get back to you.

    No luck with the meditation. Ironic that the coke I drank before it didn't help. Knew I should have stuck to the Iron Bru. What now? I suggest a call to the coke-mobile team for clarification.

    Good idea. I can personalise the can with extra Maths formulae. Once they agree to do it on an Iron Bru can.

    More to the point, was he drinking coke, or Iron Bru?

    Ah yes, so technically he was endorsing Coca Cola. Who would've thought Jesus would be a sellout?

    Don't coca cola own 7 up?

    Maybe if I rang in advance they'd make an allowance. It's quite a journey, but it would be worth it for the personalised can. Or maybe if they let me buy a six pack of coke and half six pack of 7 up, that way I'm still buying some coke.


    Wow, apart from you being a massive pain in the can I'm sure they would decline your ever so reasonable request because Prodigious isn't one of the top 150 names in the UK at the minute.

    How exactly would it evaporate through a sealed metal container?
