Play a Coke App Features Spotify Playlists on Coca-Cola Bottles

Coca-Cola is getting into the summer spirit with “Play a Coke,” a new twist on the company’s “Share a Coke” program.

Unique to Canada, “Play a Coke” will swap the logos on over 60 million Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero bottles for over 185 unique, shareable moments, each linked to a Spotify playlist.

Fans will be able to access specially curated playlists for moments such as “First Kiss”, “Road Trip” and “True North, Strong”, by downloading the Play a Coke app, pointing their smartphone at their Coca-Cola bottle or fountain cup and pressing play.

Through the “Play a Coke” app, which was developed in Canada specifically for the Canadian market, fans will be able to digitally interact with their bottle of Coca-Cola.

Once a playlist is unlocked, users can play, pause and control song selection through their smartphone by twisting the bottle back and forth.
