This radio advertisement promotes Coke by using sound effects from Bonfire Night to depict the fizz and explosion of flavors. It will play crackling bonfire sounds and say "listen to the Coke fizz as you watch the colors explode." The goal is to make listeners thirsty for an ice cold Coke as they enjoy the sounds of explosions. It is inspired by festival-themed Christmas ads and uses familiar sounds without infringing on copyright. Care was taken to avoid potentially offensive language and encourage responsible enjoyment of the holiday.
