I had a Coca-Cola phone around 99-2000 ish.
It was an Ericsson (a few years prior to them becoming Sony-Ericsson) with a Coca-Cola fascia and splash-screen.
You got it by collecting tickets on the side of bottles, and paying a little extra.
I drank a LOT of Coke back then.

Android phones (not all of course) do already have this feature (since 2019), and they also have the roller-coaster issue.
Since every new car will be required to have this feature as standard, and it's been an option for over 20 years. It's of somewhat limited use in the future, but could help someone someday.

That's the one. I collected my own tokens, but still had enough in about two weeks. I think it was 3 tokens for a 2L bottle. (I hadn't drunk them all, but we bought in bulk because I did drink an awful lot).
It was my 4th mobile, and a major step down in terms of screen size,
But I quickly moved to the Motorola V66, then the Ericsson T68m, then the Samsung T108 japanese import.
Phones in those days were just better, so fucking interesting every one of them with their little quirks.
The T108 had a built in voicemail, and voice ringtones, though they W were in Japanese. 'Whey Yodiohala' (is what it sounded like).
