Coca-Cola authorized bean bags in the British
Isles are some of the most creative critters to be found -- a
Coke can filled with beans, large plump white polar bear with
red scarf, Mickey Mouse, tiny white bear, Jersey cow (dubbed "Mad
Cow"), and even the Loch Ness monster. They have been released
for promotions at Burger King, Coke contests to win a trip to
Disneyland, or just as kid's toys.
Many of these hard-to-find English editions
were available some time ago and are quite a challenge to find
in mint condition today. It is important to differentiate between
bean bags and plush in foreign editions as sellers may not know
the difference. Some are made by Cavanagh, but most are produced
by other manufacturers exclusively for the British market. More
information about all Coca-Cola bean bags is available from the
book "Coca-Cola
Collectible Bean Bags and Plush".
