Coca-Cola is celebrating its 125th anniversary. Whatever you might think of Coke, it's certainly popular and so is its advertising. Unruly Media have put together the top 10 most shared Coke viral ads of all time for us

Remember, these are not CR's choices but a list of the most 'shared' Coke ads compiled using data from social networks. What, no Hilltop?

In top spot, the Happiness Machine viral from Definition 6, in which a vending machine gives out doses of 'happiness' in a US college

 

Number two, Snow Globes by McCann Erickson Madrid

 

At three,cheesy old Christmas Trucks (so brilliantly sent up by AKQA's Pot Noeldle)

 

Four, Friendship Machine by Ogilvy Argentina

 

Five, History of Celebration, done for the 2010 World Cup by Santo Buenos Aires

 

Six, the Simpsons spectacular, Hard Times, Wieden + Kennedy Portland

 

Seven, Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam's Happiness Factory

 

Eight, this saucy spot for Diet Coke

 

Nine, Border by Wieden + Kennedy

 

And ten, GTA, by Wieden + Kennedy, directed by Smith & Foulkes

See numbers 10 to 20 in the list here

I really liked the Coca Cola monsters ad with Music by Calvin Harris, makes me sad it didn't make it.
