Real Gold - Touch




Coca-Cola Corp. owns the Real Gold "genki drink" brand. Genki drinks are essentially carbonated caffeine plus sugar and maybe some vitamins and minerals. A little while back, I was walking past a vending machine, and was surprised to see an empty can (used as an ash tray) sitting on the ground next to it, featuring Touch manga character artwork, since there's no advertising for it anywhere on the machine (or any other machine I've see so far). I bought a can right there, and it was also for Touch. I can't find anything on the Real Gold website announcing a manga campaign of any sort, but there is an ad on youtube showing characters from really old Shonen Jump manga.
