Have you ever seen one of the aesthetically pleasing Coca-Cola advertisements? Chances are, whether it was on a billboard, Super Bowl commercial, or internet pop-up, you have seen the classic Cola-Cola logo. Recently, a new advertisement has leaked to the public, typically seen on t-shirts. Although the advertisement appears in the classic Coca-Cola format, it boldly proclaims a different “product” than the popular soft drink. In a non-blasphemous analogy, the strange t-shirt ad celebrates both Coca-Cola and Jesus Christ 's Presence in Holy Communion.
Before even an in-depth look at the advertisement, one may be quick to conclude that the t-shirt bashes the mundanity of Coke, and instead, advocates a more extraordinary and spiritual “food.” Coca-Cola, with its finitude and temporary satisfaction, could never compare to the “Bread of Life.” However, nowhere on the advertisement can one find any derogatory statement about Coca-Cola. Furthermore, just because Coca-Cola (and all material goods) cannot be placed in the same genus of the Eucharist does not necessarily mean they are dishonorable. From a theological point of view, all things were created by God, and by virtue of their existence, they are good when properly appropriated. And Coca-Cola is a delicious drink enjoyed by many people! Therefore, it can safely be assumed that the advertisement is a celebrated analogy, praising both the palatable soda and Holy Communion, because they are, in fact, similar in a variety of
Coca-Cola meanings came from various sources, most notably the changes in the culture in the United States in the 1900s. The company quickly adapted to the social and cultural changes like pop culture; throughout artwork, they were able to reach the heart of America’s youth.

In her article “Advertisements R Us,” Melissa Rubin notes that Coke’s message in the ad she analyzes is that “Coke will refresh and unite working America” (249). Her evidence for this is based on several things—for instance, right in the middle of ad sits a large Coke machine and the bottom of the ad explicitly states, “A welcome host to workers—Inviting you to the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola” (249). She concludes her article with the insight that “Coke ads helped shape the American identity,” pointing to the underlying message of the ad that Coke can provide the carefree, joyful life it never fails to portray in its ads to everyone who takes a sip (250).
Coca Cola: their commercials leave some people heart broken, and others awe struck, but they leave everyone as future Coca Cola drinkers. Coke has inspired consumers with famous ads like the famous “Mean Joe Greene” 1979 Super Bowl commercial and the classic 1940s Coke ad supporting the war effort. Even today, they have continued to captivate all audiences with their current “Share a Coke” campaign. Coca Cola has always been the leader of the advertisement realm. They have mastered playing with our hearts and minds to convince us that Coca Cola is the product to buy. What has kept the Coca Cola Company at the forefront of the beverage business is their ability to woo potential buyers into buying their product
Coca–Cola a leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink products. Coca–Cola was not always the sugary syrup soft drink most people know today. As a matter of fact, before 1886 Coca-Cola was made with alcohol and cocaine. Concocted by Dr. John Pemberton a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia Coca-Cola was originally named Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Dr. Pemberton marketed the drink as a cure all for mental and physical disorders and was sold from a soda fountain at his local drug store. A step ahead of prohibition, Dr. Pemberton replace the wine in his formula with a sugary syrup. The cocaine portion of Coca-Cola was removed before 1914 when cocaine was deemed illegal in the United States of America. Coca-Cola as we know today still contains coca but the narcotic portion of cocaine, it is removed. Today, Coca-Cola has expanded to over 200+ countries. From concerts to sport venues to local restaurants you are more than likely to come across a Coca-Cola product, Coca-Cola has had such an impact on society that it is given credit for how we portray Santa Clause today. Other credits should also be given to Coca-Cola like an increase in diabetes and other diseases.
Throughout the course of this essay a rhetorical analysis will be performed over the subject of the popular soft drink, Coca Cola. Here we will take a look at two documents, both advertisement images, both from Coca Cola, separated by over 40 years. This sweet drink took the world by storm starting in the 1890’s and has been a household name since.

Coca Cola one of the most successful soda companies in the world went under attack by pranksters. In 2014, Coca Cola introduced a new slogan called “You’re on diet Coke” for their diet Coke soda. This slogan was a mistake for Coca Cola to make because when they first created their soda back in 1886, it contained cocaine as one of the ingredients, which was common back in the 19th century. The diet Coke ad started a lot of parody ads that Coke Cola wasn’t ready for. One of the first people who started the parodies was a blog named Animal. Animal modified the ad that Coca Cola made right after it was released to make fun of the Diet Coke ad. Many parodies were created like the TV commercial parody of the Diet Coke, but Animal’s was the most noticeable and shared ad over social media sites. When Coca Cola saw that the parodies are beginning to spread quickly all of over social media, Coca Cola released a statement saying that they don’t use illegal substances in any of their products. Then after the statement, they discontinued the slogan. Coca Cola didn’t intend at first to make such an ad to promote the use of cocaine, but they should’ve known that it will create this kind of reaction.

Just by the first glance of this 2013 ad, our brains automatically connect drinking Coca-Cola with being accompanied by a friend. For example, the two coke bottles, the two hands, the two names, (one male and one female) lead us to believe that by drinking a coke, for some reason we'll fill this need to affiliate The 1963 ad also does this ,but with this female diversion. Also the wall in this picture is a weird shade of grey-green which is a strange use of color. None the less we have to read the smaller print to see what the author is trying to say.
With each day, the advertisement industry is growing, becoming one of the most undeviating parts of our lives. According to statistics, one-third of all commercials are produced right here in the United States. Being home to major multi-national companies, the United States witnesses both excellent and atrocious ads. While many firms have failed dreadfully sometimes to promote their products through the help of a commercial, Coca-cola has always flourished in this sector. Coca-Cola managed to produce astounding ads by consistently creating an emotional connection with its audience. With the launch of its new soda ‘‘Coca-Cola Life’’ in Buenos Aires Argentina, The Coca-Cola company has released another scintillating and heartwarming commercial along with it. The sixty-second Coca-Cola ad advocates ‘Coca-Cola Life,’ a low-calorie cola that is naturally sweetened with stevia leaf extract and sugar. By chronicling the joys and pains of parenting and by portraying a family environment, Coca-Cola effectively elicits from viewers that connect their product with a sense of the warmth of a peaceful family life.
