We could all use a little more happiness! Coca-Cola gets an A+ on this one!

This is one of the best marketing ideas I have seen in a long time! Coca- Cola is taking it to the streets with their Happiness Truck and vending machines. They aren’t just handing out free soda as you might expect; they are also dispensing soccer balls, roses, sandwiches, pizza, surf boards, toys, and other fun stuff!
They are marketing their brand by giving people an experience that they will tell their friends and family about for sure! (which in turn spreads the word about Coca-Cola.) They also showed that spreading the word about their product through engaging people in “happiness” can work anywhere, no mater what country, race, age or gender- Happiness is contagious 
and the marketing concept is brilliant. What a great way to get people talking about your product and brand!

Check out the Nike Music Shoe, this is seriously cool…
Leave it to Nike to come up with a shoe that can create music. I love how innovative they are, who thinks of this stuff?

Ok, this is so cool! Can you imagine being one of the random unsuspecting people who are at these places when this happens? I love it!
In case you are unfamiliar with a flash mob, let me give you the Wikipedia definition: “A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term ‘flash mob’ is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms or as publicity stunts.”
In other words, flash mobs are wild and freaky events with a large group of participants that appear to be unplanned, but are in fact, precisely planned. (It makes me wonder, would the recent Twitter “Denial of Service attack” be classified as a virtual flash mob?)
I have found three amazing flash mob videos for you. I ranked them, and they are listed in order of first, second and third place. If you have a flash mob video you would like to share, please post the link below!
Enjoy!
