Coca-Cola is getting some technological flavor added to its time-honored soft drink. Electronic French duo Daft Punk are partnering with Coke to produce silver and gold packaging based on the pair’s minimalist helmets. The swanky new Coke bottles will be available in March 2011 for a limited time. As part of Coke’s ‘Club Coke’ promotion, the Daft Punk sodas will be available in nightclubs and packaged in a collector’s box set exclusively through Colette in Paris. A website entitled Daftcoke.com will be up and running soon to provide more information on the revamped beverage. Listen to the Daft Punk Coke jingle below in the video teaser.

Producers of the radio program ‘This American Life’ came across an article on the history of Coca-Cola in an old copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Coca-Cola’s hometown newspaper.
