Coke adds Olympic fervor

A Shuang Zone sponsored by Coca-Cola, where locals meet to celebrate China's Olympic glories, is being held nightly in Beijing.

The multi-national drinks company has also placed on exhibit the best designs for a new Coke bottle submitted by artists from provinces around China, in a bid to combine the people's passion for the Games and their desire to showcase local culture by incorporating aspects of it into their designs.
