Spotted this in Bondi Junction this last weekend, turns out Coke is giving out free 200ml cans with your name printed on it. You just line up and write the name you want on the form. Each Westfield is running this at different periods, so check the dates.

Some names like "Sam" apparently are not allowed due to (copyright? lol) reasons.

1st post, don't need to go easy. I'll learn.

EDIT: If you can't find the Westfield Locations on the facebook page, look for the "CREATE A CUSTOM CAN" tab and click it on the top.

Also not sure if every Westfield is listed, but the list is quite comprehensive. Check it for your area.

        o.k. so the reason for this, is that you can copywrite your name. which essentially means nothing, until someone else tries to make money off your name, in which case, the copywrite comes into effect. so names like sam have often been copywrited like this in order to try and make claims against large companies like this for free money.

        therefore, they can put the name on the can if there is no clear money making reason, or traceable profits. but if they use it in a promotion, every can given away to a sam they can be sued for, even though the cans are free, repeat customers etc are the name of the game here.

          @ greenpossum: It's a bit tricky given the font they're using, and the first letter being an upper case, but perhaps revert back to your primary school calculator tricks? "Zdood" will get you "boobZ" if you hold it up to the mirror. :-)

      12 characters. They give you a card to fill out and then they print off a sticker which has the name on it and stick it onto the cans. Looks actually pretty good if they stick it one well!

    Oh wow. Chermside was totally disorganised this morning. The workers started arriving at 10, divided the line into two, then realised that they actually needed one so they had to try to merge the two lines and people who were at the front of one line got pushed back.

    They didn't start anything until after 10.30…but I loved the "Oi, Jimmy. What're you doing?" from the angry mob.
