Coca-Cola's Creative Bottles

i was always fascinated with coca cola bottles when i was a kid. i could remember the old coke bottles way back in the old days but not just their bottles but their tv campaigns as well. Coca-cola tv ads are always creative and fascinating. Specially when it's approaching Christmas. going back to Coca-cola bottles, I never thought that there are so much more bottle designs from outside my country. the bottles are very creative and great enough to be a collector's item. Take a look at their amazing designs.


Coca-Cola bottles designed by Nathalie Rykiel, daughter of famous fashion designer Sonia Rykiel, in France 2008.



Coca-Cola celebrated their 100th anniversary by releasing this centenary bottle. The bottle was made exclusively for Selfridges, a popular London department store. The centenary Coke bottle was made of glass with a bright shade of yellow, which is Selfridge's signature color. Coca-Cola was written in red, with a red cap.



Early Coca-Cola bottle circa 1899 - referred to as Hutchinson style.



Coca-Cola designed a bottle that keeps the inside drink chilled for a few minutes! The bottles also require different vending machine technology to regulate their temperature.



Introduced in 2005, Coca-Cola launched a line of 5 aluminum contoured bottles called the “Magnificent 5? or M5. Five different studios from five continents were each commissioned to design a bottle. According to Coca-Cola, this visual rebranding aimed at discerningly creative consumers, to be found only at “the world's most exclusive clubs and lounges.”





The infamous bottle is known for its contour design and was actually created in 1915, by glass bottle designer Earl R. Dean of the Root Glass Company. The Coca-Cola Company decided to have a competition on who could create the best bottle design. They wanted a design that could be easily recognizable, even in the dark or if broken.

SpitzTunes -- Ya Gotta Love It!

Driving home from work the other day, Air Supply's "All Out Of Love" came on the radio. Despite the hilariously hokey melody and lyrics, I started thinking...are we in fact all out of love? What has happened to the love song? Has it changed for better or for worse? I guess that's for you to decide.


Pop star Michael Jackson dead


"Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said.

There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.

Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said that the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer's home.

The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital.

Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer, whose hits include "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months.

The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within hours of going on sale in March.

Jackson started out as a child star in the band "The Jackson 5" more than 40 years ago.

He has lived as a virtual recluse since his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation.

There have been concerns about Jackson's health in recent years but the promoters of the London shows, AEG Live, said in March that Jackson had passed a 4-1/2 hour physical examination with independent doctors.

Stress and Astma

These past few months, I've been very prone to asthma attacks. It's,like I've been having it twice or thrice a week. It made me worried and I have to do something about it. There are several factors I have considered why I'm having these regular attacks and I think the major factor is stress. Yes stress. I then made a research about my, well maybe i may call it sickness. My issue here is stress and asthma.


Stress: Can Stress Worsen Asthma? Yes, stress is one of the known triggers of asthma attacks. The exact reasons for this are not fully understood, but emotional states such as anxiety and stress can trigger asthma attacks in some people. Researchers are trying to understand the complex connection between emotions and asthma, and there is data to suggest links between the areas of the brain that control our emotions and the physical symptoms of asthma.

Since stress can aggravate asthma, it makes sense to learn and practice effective stress-management techniques. Exercise, establishing a regular sleep cycle, proper nutrition, and relaxation training are all important aspects of stress control.

bring the movies to your home


During weekends and holidays I'd rather stay at home. And what else could I do for fun? Yes, watch television that is. So as usual I'd grab the remote and start jumping from one channel to another. After six or seven times going back and forth from the available channels, I get bored. I know it would be great having a Direct TV.

Over the past few years, the TV viewing experience has undergone a dramatic change. We could now get off the hook with our regular or traditional cable television network. Having just 5-6 channels can be pretty boring right. Direct tv offers different packages to address the different needs of their customers. They offer great choices, I won't just have the regular, humdrum cable lineup.

Direct TV System offers movie packages, or even sports, or news. Premium channels include: HBO, Showtime, The Movie Channel, Cinemax, FLIX, Sundance Channel, Encore, and Starz. Wow! Order a Direct TV Service promotion that will allow you to bundle multiple movie channels for a low price. Isn't that great having movie packages compare favorably to actually going to the cinema. Isn't that great, we can actually bring the movies to the comfort of our homes with directv.

I'm Gay


I never did saw Lambert performed on American idol cause I never had the chance to watch it. And I heard my friends say that Lambert's gay though i never heard or read on the news that he admitted it. But finally, Adam Lambert confirmed his sexuality in the new issue of Rolling Stone. The American Idol runner-up says; "I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay. I'm proud of my sexuality." And adds, "I embrace it. It's just another part of me."

Lambert admits that he was nervous about coming out while Idol was still on the air because contestants are under a media embargo, and he wanted to do it on his "own terms." (He also says producers were open to him handling it however he wanted to.) "I was worried that [coming out] would be so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing," Lambert tells the mag. "I'm an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing. It shouldn't matter. Except it does. It's really confusing."
