"Library"

"Library" brings to life the silent flirtation of two teens connecting over a Coca-Cola® while studying in a quiet library. They pass the boring study time by using their ink pins to draw characters on their hands and arms. The boy then draws a Coke® bottle on his arm and in response the girl pens a glass with ice cubes on hers. The drawings come to life as they reach across the table and touch hands as the now animated Coca-Cola pours out of the bottle drawing, down the guy's arm onto the girl's hand and into the glass she has drawn. They share a laugh. The spot reinforces how sharing a Coca-Cola connects people and brings a moment of happiness to an otherwise ordinary situation.

"Crave"

Sweltering in the heat of a summer evening a man sits lethargically in his apartment, a fan blowing in vain. As he mops his brow his eye catches sight of the shadow cast on the wall in what quizzically appears to be in the shape of a Coke bottle. He leaves his apartment into the harsh light and heat of the day and begins to see the outline shape of Coke bottles everywhere -- in the grill of a car, in the shape of buildings in the frame of a bicycle -- and hears the familiar sound of a Coke being opened when a workman opens a bucket lid. Is his mind playing tricks on him? He searches for something to quench his thirst and finally finds an open shop where he buys and drinks a Coke letting out a satisfying "ahhh" as he does so. His thirst slaked, he walks out of the store and hears a similar "ahhh" from above as we see a plane skywriting the same letters. The spot plays off of the sights and sounds of drinking a Coca-Cola and the "craving" that can only be satisfied by an ice cold Coke.

"Happiness Factory III" is the third in a series of popular and award-winning Happiness Factory stories.  It is the middle of the afternoon and a student decides it's time for a break. He yawns as he heads over to a vending machine for a Coke, and a lookout worker inside the 'Happiness Factory' can't help but yawn in response and sends an infectious ripple of yawns across the workers inside.  Their works slows down and their focus is clearly diminished.  Realizing the situation "Wendy" the quirky majorette character claps to summon the "Yawnbusters" -- hands that break through the scenery to deliver refreshing Coca-Cola to everyone.  Revitalized and invigorated by a Coke their yawns are replaced with the trademark energetic five-note whistle of the Happiness Factory.
