Lol no? The Coca Cola was made, rinsed and filled by a machine. A rinsing and filing machine if you will. And I'm sure its not named Daniel.

They actually name their bottles like humans, "Share a coke". I recently bought an "Ivan", because I didn't want to buy a Coke and had never heard of "Share a coke" to this point, only to see the Cola-logo while paying for the bottle.

E: Lol, Daniel is listed two times on Cola's Share a coke website.

I'm well aware of it. The bottle isn't named that. It's an instruction to share it with someone named that.

Never heard of it, just saw an Iwan in the fridge of the store.

It is name like that. Just saw some this morning so instead of like Coca-Cola name you will have โ€œAdrianโ€ โ€œEmmaโ€ โ€œFerretyโ€ etc. And it is fucking confusing

Still fucking obvious it's Coca-Cola

Yup, but I was dehydrated and tired. Still not one of my proudest moments.
