The Bremerton Olympic champion will now be  part of the company’s special edition Six-Pack of Athletes for its One Year Out campaign for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Adrian will represent the sport of swimming. He’s joined by soccer’s Alex Morgan, Paralympic track athlete Tatyana McFadden, track’s Leo Manzano and Ashton Eaton, and gymnast Nastia Liukin. The company says the athletes will be prominently displayed in its packaging, retail and digital advertising.

So what does this mean exactly?

That you could find yourself in the possession of a Nathan Adrian can of Coke.

If anyone manages to get one, let me know. I won’t be buying, but I’d still like to check it out.
