The (idiot) artist who drew-up this Coke Advertising poster did it as a joke .......but the Coca Cola management
did not find it amusing :-(
The artist was FIRED

OBSCENE imagery
put into this poster.
Although initially SUBTLE and HARD to SEE? It was noticed on a LARGE decal on the back of a Coke Delivery Truck
The
ENTIRE Ad. campaign was recalled
straight away.
99.99% were
collected by SECURITY GUARDS
hired by Coca Cola Bottlers, who sent them ALL
back from Coca Cola to be DESTROYED
NONE should have escaped that HOLOCAUST
But a
wily employee
at a Coke Factory STASHED SOME and kept them
secretly HIDDEN for over two decades

"Risqué Coca-Cola Poster
Coca-Cola once recalled an advertising poster due to an overtly sexual image hidden within it."
By   David Mikkelson
Published 28 July 2004
Claim
Coca-Cola recalled an advertising poster due to a risqué image hidden within it.
Rating = TRUE 100% !!
Origin
Instances abound of phallic imagery supposedly sneaked into product displays and packaging, such as a Renuzit air freshener can, a Star Wars trading card, a Sears catalog underwear ad, and the clamshell case for Disney’s Little Mermaid video.
Another such example is a Coca-Cola advertising poster supposedly released in South Australia and recalled after the company discovered the artist had hidden some rather obvious sexual imagery in one of the ice cubes surrounding the bottle of Coke:
HOW CLEVER IS THIS?? :-)
This poster was released in the mid 80s and
prompted a total recall of all posters
because of the picture painted in ice-cubes at bottom right corner —
a woman performing an indecent act
. The graphic
artist who designed the picture put this in as a joke
, and it went through unnoticed until someone spotted it on the back of a Coke truck.
The artist lost his job and was sued, and
all promotional material had to be recalled and destroyed
. Very rare and hard to get hold of —
released in South Australia in mid ’80s
.
Contemporaneous news reports confirm that Coca-Cola did indeed pull an advertisement (intended to tout the reintroduction of Coca-Cola’s contour bottle, hence the “Feel the Curves!” slogan) from the South Pacific marketing area in 1995 due to some questionable imagery:
Coca-Cola has dumped thousands of posters from its new advertising campaign after
a graphic sexual image was found hidden in the pictur
e.
The poster shows a cartoon interpretation of a Coke bottle sitting on a bed of ice under the words “Feel The Curves!”.
But an image, apparently
depicting oral sex
and which is only obvious by looking carefully, has been painted inside one icecube in one corner of the picture.
A 0,000 campaign was created to promote the reintroduction of Coke’s original contoured bottle shape.
Thousands of posters had been distributed to hotels and bottle shops across Sydney before the mistake was discovered by Coca-Cola management.
It wasn’t till retailers complained that red-faced executives withdrew thousands of glossy posters that contained the image of a woman and a penis.
The artwork was designed by a small graphic design firm contracted by the soft drink giant
to appeal to young Coke drinkers who would not have grown up with the famous bottle shape.
It was initially destined for 120,000 outlets across Sydney.
The company admitted it was embarrassed by revelation of the oversight.
The president of the Australian marketing arm, Coca-Cola South Pacific, Mr Mike Bascle, said the action of the artist was “quite irresponsible and not amusing”.
Coke’s Sydney-based corporate affairs manager Ian Brown said the company was a victim.
