Miami Beach is turning 100 years old on March 26, 2015. To celebrate the
city’s 100th birthday, Coca-Cola released a commemorative,
limited-edition 8-oz. glass bottle. The specially designed, collectible
bottle proudly displays the city’s centennial logo, while the
Coca-Cola/City of Miami Beach logo is featured on the six-pack packaging.

“We are very excited about this collaboration of showcasing two
world-renowned and coveted brands, Miami Beach and Coca-Cola, on the
commemorative centennial bottle,” said Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine.
“Our city’s future hinges on continued sustainable efforts and with
Coca-Cola as our recycling partner, we look forward to continued
promising opportunities with them.”
Beginning Friday, January 16, 2015, people can visit Miami Beach
retailers to purchase their own six-pack of the limited-edition
collectible bottles, while supplies last.
“As the city enters its second century, Coca-Cola will continue to
foster this special relationship, guided by our belief in giving back to
communities where we do business,” said Melanie Jones, General Manager,
South Florida Market Unit, Coca-Cola Refreshments. “Today, we
demonstrate our ongoing support for Miami Beach by showcasing their
centennial logo on another American Icon, the Coca-Cola Bottle.”
As Miami Beach’s official recycling partner, Coca-Cola supports several
sustainability events, including placing recycling bins along Lincoln
Road, beach clean-ups and rain barrel programs.
