Can you believe that the first time we could score a can of Coke with our name on it was 12 years ago in 2013? <\/p>\n

Everyone remembers scouring the fridges of their local supermarket looking for their name when they picked up their meal deal, and dare we say it made the Coke taste better when it felt like it was *yours*?<\/p>\n

Well, buckle up, as Coca-Cola have just revealed that, once again, the iconic, personalised cans are back<\/a> in shops and better than ever.<\/p>\n

From May 1st, you\u2019ll be able to find personalised cans and bottles in-store again, and we for one can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

This new \u2018Share a Coke\u2019 <\/a>campaign allows you to share a special Coke with friends to celebrate your friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime \u2013 but this time, you\u2019ll have the customising power.<\/p>\n

Got one of those names that you never see in the shops? Worry not.<\/p>\n

The brand will be dropping a unique customisation platform, \u2018Share A Coke\u2019<\/a>, which will offer even more names to choose from – be it a nickname, surname or personal term of endearment, and the ability to add your own personal touch.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, even those with uncommon names will have the chance to create, share and enjoy their own Coke bottles that are unique to them.<\/p>\n

Global Creative Director of Coca-Cola, Islam ElDessouky, told us: \u2018This year, Coca-Cola is celebrating the uniqueness of names and the qualities that make people special with \u2018Share a Coke\u2019, taking personalisation to the next level with online digital experiences – giving people the power to customise their Coca-Cola with more names than ever.<\/p>\n

\u2018For the first time, people can add their own creative signatures to ignite countless shared moments and personal stories around the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alongside the much-loved name personalisation available, Brits will be able to choose from a range of other nicknames and phrases around friendship, such as \u2018My Bestie\u2019, \u2018My Bae\u2019, \u2018My Mate\u2019, \u2018My Fam\u2019 and, my personal favourite, \u2018My Day One\u2019.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all: Coca-Cola has also created the Share a Coke Memory Maker <\/a>– an online digital experience that allows you to create memes with your friends and family while enjoying a refreshing Coke.<\/p>\n

Partnering with famous creators to create unique templates, you can make your own personalised videos using your own content.<\/p>\n

Excited? We thought you\u2019d be. Keep your eyes peeled in stores from May 1st<\/sup> to find your name on an iconic Coke can or bottle.<\/a><\/p>\n
