Why is everyone taking this commercial the wrong way? "dumb idea", "take two bottles", etc. Doubt this is meant to be an actual product to sell. In case you haven't been seen any Coca Cola commercials for the past years, they've always been focused around psychologically attaching Coca Cola and happiness/success/"good times" together.

  Why sponsor sports so much? 
  When your home team won, you had a Coke in your hand.

  Why so much Coca Cola marketing around Christmas? 
  Happy holidays, have a gift from a Coke-loving Santa.

  Why make this bottle? 
  You met your best friend because you guys me through opening a bottle together.
Coca Cola commercials are cute and are designed to play on human emotion. Vending machines that need a hug before spitting out a free drink. Another vending machine on Valentine's Day that only give out drinks to couples that can prove they're a couple.

It would be cool if it was a product they sold though to big conference like settings. I am sure it would be easy to "game" but I bet people would still be thankful for the opportunity to engage strangers. Even if it would be only to show them how to "cheat"!
