Coca-Cola’s Returnable Glass Bottle campaign has arrived in Mt Kenya, bringing a vibrant mix of games, prizes, and happy moments to the region.
The initiative, which has already rolled out in Nairobi, Eastern, Western, Nyanza, Coast, Rift Valley, and now Mt Kenya, celebrates the joy of enjoying Coca-Cola in its iconic glass bottle—a symbol of togetherness cherished across generations.
Running for three(3) months, the campaign aims to reconnect consumers with the classic Coca-Cola experience.
Through county visits, Coca-Cola teams are engaging directly with communities, encouraging them to share their fondest memories of drinking Coca-Cola in returnable glass bottles.
Affordable and versatile, the returnable glass bottle caters to all occasions, with sizes starting at just Sh20 for the 200ml option. From college students to families, the classic glass bottle remains an accessible choice for all.
Speaking about the campaign, a Coca-Cola representative said, “Coca-Cola in a returnable glass bottle is more than just a drink. It is a tradition that has brought Kenyans together for generations. Its crisp taste and nostalgic appeal create unforgettable memories of good times.”
As part of the initiative, Coca-Cola teams are traveling to different counties to engage with consumers, inviting them to share personal stories linked to the returnable glass bottle.
In Embu town, one resident, Mr Alex Muriithi, had the crowd laughing as he shared how Coca-Cola in a glass bottle played a pivotal role in his love story.
"I remember taking my wife out for dates, and Coca-Cola in a glass bottle was always on the table. She loved it, and those moments brought us closer. You could say Coca-Cola helped me win her heart," Mr Muriithi joked, drawing laughter and applause from the audience.
Beyond being a beverage, Coca-Cola in its returnable glass bottle is a cultural icon that has brought Kenyans together for decades. Its distinctive taste and nostalgic charm evoke fond memories of good times shared with loved ones.
Whether enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, it continues to captivate hearts with its refreshing flavor and timeless design.
As Coca-Cola continues to evolve, its glass bottle remains a symbol of connection and joy.
This campaign is about rekindling that spirit of happiness one bottle at a time.
