Coca-Cola commercials: A roundup of famous ads whose cast and featured songs are making waves

Coca-Cola, a major beverage manufacturer, differentiates itself from other companies’ vending machines with proprietary apps like Coke On, which let you make payments with your smartphone and collect stamps.

In addition to soft drinks like Coke and Aquarius, its tea and coffee brands such as Ayataka and Georgia are also hugely famous.

One reason Coca-Cola enjoys such high name recognition compared to other soft drink makers is the high frequency of its TV commercials.

Coca-Cola’s commercials often feature popular actors and spotlighted artists handling the music, which frequently becomes a topic of conversation.

In this article, we’ll showcase those buzzworthy commercials all at once, so if there’s a CM you saw on TV that caught your attention, be sure to check it out.
