Verizon - "Can't B Broken"

Coca-Cola® and the OREO® brands have teamed up as “besties” to create two exclusive and limited-edition products: OREO® Coca-Cola™ Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition. Inspired by “besties” around the world, the two iconic brands are, for a limited time, sparking celebration amongst besties with the launch of two legendary products and several unique digital and physical experiences.

The significance of celebrating friendships has never been more pertinent, and the brands are championing this by introducing ‘BESTIES,’ a partnership celebrating what it means to be ‘BESTIES.’ Besties often become a combination of their very best traits, making each other even better together. The OREO® brand and Coca-Cola® are playfully connected in many ways. Now offering the ultimate treats, fans can enjoy the iconic duo for a limited time with long-time and new-found besties.

“Bringing together the playfulness of OREO and the Real Magic of Coca-Cola is unexpected, but also feels right because our brands are alike in so many ways,” said Oana Vlad, Global Vice President - Brand Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company. “As a first-of-its-kind collaboration for both brands, we are thrilled for besties around the world to join us in celebrating new products, great experiences and unexpected moments of connection.”

“At OREO, we strive to identify fresh ways to excite consumers and, with this collaboration, we have truly upped the ante,” said Eugenia Zalis, Global Head of Marketing and Brand for OREO, Mondelez International. “The bestie bond forged between OREO and Coca-Cola is a playful way to unite our fanbases and celebrate the power of connection and togetherness. We cannot wait to see the reaction to the campaign and hope fans are excited to experience the latest twists on two classics.”

OREO® Coca-Cola™ Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition will be available for a limited time only and will offer unique experiences that celebrate the magic of teaming up with a bestie.

Both products feature a captivating design and sleek packaging, adorned with the distinctive OREO® cookie embossments and stacked Coca-Cola® bottles. With each sip of the Coca-Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition, fans can savor a refreshing Coca-Cola® taste with flavorful hints inspired by OREO® cookies, creating an unparalleled experience from these new-found besties.

The Limited-Edition OREO® Coca-Cola™ Sandwich Cookie boasts a distinctive red and black color-blocked design featuring two unique basecakes, one classic chocolate (that contains Coca-Cola™ syrup) and one red-colored golden embossed with Coca-Cola® designs, stuffed with a smooth white-colored creme. The basecakes are paired with a Coca-Cola® taste fans know and love, and popping candies that bring a “fizz” sensation to every bite.

‘BESTIES’ fosters connections beyond boundaries through immersive digital and physical experiences, inviting fans to activate ‘Bestie Mode’ and team up with their closest friends to participate. Created in partnership with Spotify, the OREO® and Coca-Cola® brands will unveil the ‘Bestie Mode Digital Experience,’ an exclusive platform and first-of-its-kind musical experience designed for besties to merge music tastes and enjoy together.

By scanning Coca-Cola® and the OREO® brand products, fans can follow the steps to explore ‘Bestie Mode’ and sync up music preferences with their bestie. Spotify Free users will also be invited to access the bestie experience via on platform promotion. Once connected to a Spotify account, fans will be prompted with questions to see how their taste in music stacks up against their bestie’s. A playlist will be generated with combined music preferences for besties to enjoy together.

Giving besties even more to experience together, Coca-Cola® and OREO® brand are also launching a “Bestie Mode” merchandise line in the United States with fashion retailer, Forever21. The collection features an apparel top, socks, tote bag, cosmetics bag, drinkware, and notebooks with prices under $20. The collection will be available mid-September at select Forever 21 stores and Forever21.com.

The OREO® Coca-Cola™ Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition will be available in local grocery stores and convenience stores in participating markets, including the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, Brazil and more beginning in September. A Coca-Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Slurpee® drink will be available for a limited time at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores nationwide starting at the end of the month.
