Coca Cola’s bottle centenary celebrations includes “Kissed By”, a print and outdoor advertising campaign featuring Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Ray Charles being “kissed by” the iconic Contour bottle. Another part of the “I’ve Kissed…” campaign is “Kiss Happiness”, a commercial showing ways the Contour bottle has been a part of life and moments of happiness and celebration over the past 100 years. Inspired by a quote by artist Andy Warhol, “Kissed By” celebrates the specialness of Coca-Cola and the iconic bottle. Coca-Cola connects us across generations and across the globe through the simple act of drinking an icy cold Coca-Cola from the iconic glass bottle, a symbol of refreshment and uplift.

Created in 1915 by The Root Glass Company of Terre Haute Indiana to stop the efforts of copycat cola brands, the Contour bottle answered a brief that called for “the packaging to be highly distinctive, recognised by touch alone and identifiable even when in the dark or shattered on the floor”.
