Dimond Geezer Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 My wife saw (and photographed) it, aparently my youngest son (who's on an inset day) got a little excited.

bowers-sfc Posted 18 November, 2011 Author Posted 18 November, 2011 will be at Tesco Bursledon as well, just in case anyone is worried they will miss it. not sure which date Sorry, but it will not be at tesco bursledon. it will be at asda, chandlers ford tomorrow though.
latter day saint Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 Sorry, but it will not be at tesco bursledon. it will be at asda, chandlers ford tomorrow though. good. car park is a nightmare as it is.
The Cat Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 Why are people excited about a lorry with Coca Cola on the side? There must be a point here somewhere that I'm missing. Someone I used to work with was wetting her knickers about it this morning saying she was going to take her son to see it. He's not even 1 yet. Get a grip woman.
The Cat Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 good. car park is a nightmare as it is. The whole damn place is a nightmare. Nuke it.
latter day saint Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 The whole damn place is a nightmare. Nuke it. agree but then i would have to find a new job.
The Cat Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 agree but then i would have to find a new job. Knowing Tesco they are probably monitoring all your online movements and you'll be looking for another job tomorrow for that remark anyway!
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 It was at Asda today, as promised, and people were queuing up to see it. Haven't they seen a lorry before? The bus driver said that it had been causing traffic problems all afternoon.
Hatch Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 I saw it in ASDA as well, saw the crowd, went over to have a look. There was a lot of people and a red lorry with Coca Cola written on the side. I was expecting the bus to try and jump 20 cars or something, but it didn't do anything.

niceandfriendly Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Why does this deserve a thread by itself? I saw a Mcdonalds lorry on the motorway today but didn't feel the need to take a picture of it (well I didn't, I'm in Asia, but you get my point). Seriously, what's this about?

People with an IQ akin to Keith Chegwin's getting sucked in by the ever increasing commercialisation and Americanisation of Christmas? Still, at least the chaps in the Coca Cola marketing department will be getting a nice Christmas bonus on the back of such public gullibility.... Merry Christmas one and all...bah...
trousers Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 That said, I do miss the 10 minute Woolworth Christmas ads....
dubai_phil Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Oh wow that is one cool dude mofo of a lorry. Anyone get video of it turning into Optimus Prime?
Hatch Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 That Lorry, in the snow, with a nice backdrop, would probably look quite good,. In a car park in a wet Hedge End, not so good.
Mattio Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 That Lorry, in the snow, with a nice backdrop, would probably look quite good,. In a car park in a wet Hedge End, not so good.This, it came to Plymouth the other day and they had to go early because so many people came and the police got involved, madness!
bridge too far Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 What does this lorry do that's so special?
Jillyanne Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 What does this lorry do that's so special? It's just christmassy!!! I went along to Asda, fake snow, trees etc, was very cool to see it imho!
Window Cleaner Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 It's just christmassy!!! I It's November or are they trying to force Thanksgiving on to us now so that we can speak of "The Holidays"and spend more money from September onwards.
Clapham Saint Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Each to their own obviously, however... I do think its a shame that people will go out of their way to see a coke lorry just becuase it was used in christmas adverts. Feeling Christmassy shouldn't be about Multi-national advertising. That said am I correct in thinking that Father christmas was never depicted in in a red and white outfit until Coke's marketing team got hold of him?
Window Cleaner Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 People try to make money out of all of us everyday, usually through lies, manipulation etc. Coke have somehow made themselves Christmassy over the years largely on the basis of being santa coloured. But at least they're pretty clearly they're just selling a drink. I can't imagine anyone ever bought a can of coke and felt like they'd been suckered in and lost all their money for something that didn't live up to expectation. I hate marketing and advertising, but like Coke. The drink that is. I don't care if it's Pepsi or other though. Fascinating branding case though that it can become that strong for what is essentially fizzy water with caramel. I hate Coke.....is it politically correct to hate Coke and say so nowadays?

I think you're right - I think 'he' used to be dressed in green.
