The Coca-Cola Polar Bear

In 1993, the Coca-Cola Polar Bear had its debut. The dramatically different commercial, "Northern Lights," that introduced the Polar Bear showed a group of bears watching the sky -- and enjoying Coke® -- as if they were at the movies.

Coca-Cola Fun Facts

  • In 1886, the first year Coca-Cola was sold, sales averaged a modest 9 drinks per day.
  • If all the Coca-Cola ever produced were in 8-ounce contour bottles laid end-to-end, they would reach to the moon and back 1,677 times.
