Coca-Cola M5 Bottles

The Coca-Cola M5 or "Magnificent 5" aluminum bottles. The designs were commissioned by the soda giant to 5 different design teams, namely: The Designer's Republic (UK), Lobo (Brazil), MK12 (United States), Rex & Tennant McKay (South Africa), and Caviar (Japan).

But you won't be seeing these anytime soon in a grocery store near you. Coke will be featuring these only in "the world's most exclusive clubs and lounges".
