If you're one of many Irish folks who take the first sighting of the Coca-Cola truck on TV as a sign Christmas has arrived, prepare to get very excited indeed.

Coca-Cola has just revealed that the famous red truck will be cruising its way around Ireland this year, stopping in various Irish towns along the way.

There are 16 stops on the Irish leg of the 2015 Truck Tour – eight Tesco branches and eight Supermac's branches.

If you fancy heading along for a look, you'll not only be entertained by the Dublin Gospel Choir while sipping on a free can of Coke, but you'll also get a free souvenir Polaroid of you and the truck to take away. 

The Holidays Are Comin' truck will make its first Irish stop in Tullamore on November 27, before taking a (pretty bizarre) route around the country – down to Clonmel, up to Maynooth, down to Killarney and more before finally ending the tour in Drogehda on December 21.

Each visit will take place between 4pm and 9pm, and Belfast folks will be able to check out the truck any time between 12pm and 8pm when it pulls in on December 16.

Excited? Here's a little taster to help you along…

Knowing something is bad for you doesn't necessarily stop you from doing it, which is why you probably drink fizzy drinks from time to time. 

And while you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who'd recommend drinking a can of Diet Coke a day, new research suggests that it's not one can that will put your health at risk, but two or more regular servings a day could really tamper with your health – especially when it comes to your heart. 

A Swedish study published in the medical journal, Heart, tracked soda consumption and risk of heart failure among more than 42,000 individuals over 12 years.

The individuals who drank at least two fizzy drink servings a day had a 23 percent greater risk of developing heart failure during the study.

However, what the researchers didn't mention is if there's a difference between sugar-sweetened beverages (like regular Coca-Cola) and artificially sweetened beverages (like Diet Coke), so rather to be safe than sorry, both diet and regular sodas appear to have an equal risk with heart failure.

We think we'll stick to water now…

Coca-Cola’s most recent results have shown that there has been a dramatic decrease in the number of Diet Coke sales.

The company have said that sales of the once popular drink have fallen seven percent on the same quarter last year, which is continuing the decline that begun in 2008.

But why is the popularity of our favourite diet drink falling so rapidly? We KNOW it can't be because of their advertising…

Well, according to The Independent, there are two possible reasons.

Firstly, analysts have associated the recent results on consumer awareness of the obesity risks that are connected with drinking sugary drinks.

Euromonitor noted that, “as consumer awareness of the risks of a high sugar diet has grown, the sugar content of regular Coca-Cola could hinder the company as the consumer agenda increasingly switches to looking for healthier food and drink options.”

But, as Diet Coke has no sugar in it, you may wonder why this would affect healthy eating habits? Consumer health awareness has also made people wary of the potential dangers of ingesting chemically produced sugar substitutes, like the ones found in Diet Coke.

The other possible reason is that within their own brand, Coca-Cola have developed a number of healthier alternatives, and the increase in their sales has contributed to the diminishing of other products.

For example, both Coke Zero and Coca-Cola Life have seen an increase in sales since their production began.

So, if they really are that much better for us, we should probably get used to the idea of switching over ourselves. We just really hope that they put the same effort into advertising their new drinks that they did with Diet Coke…

The company is already famed for its minimalist approach to brand awareness – but its latest advertising campaign goes one step further: using a sequence of 18 emjois on billboards erected in London.

Depicting a series of well-known traffic and roadworks symbols to reflect the city's notoriously congested roads, McDonalds even added in its own addition to represent a drive-thru: it's enough to make a crying smiley face turn happy too.

An image of the billboard was this evening shared on Twitter by social media expert, Jennifer Hassan, who works in London for Viber. She spotted the ad at the Aldgate East tube stop, in the East End area of the city.

Ikea and Coca Cola are some of the other big names who have lately opted to embrace the use of the Japanese ideograms in adverts and promotional drives.

Ikeas's offering was released in February of this year, allowing customers to download images depicting the likes of its famed Swedish meatballs, sofas and bookcases, and the company's instantly-recognisable blue and yellow stores.

It would hard not to be disappointed with the old fashioned ‘down on one knee’ proposal these days, after seeing all these creative gestures!

When Donnie McGilvray decided to propose to his girlfriend Eloise, he got a helping hand from Coca Cola.

All he did was ask her to put the milk in the fridge, and when she opened the door, this is what she saw:

So simple – but so, so good! She said yes, obviously!

We’ve seen our fair share of unusual but sweet proposals – however, Donnie McGilvray’s is definitely our favourite by far.

Donnie decided to pop the question to his long-time girlfriend, Eloise by using his fridge and conveniently lined up bottles of coke.

When Eloise opened the fridge, six bottles of coke spelt out Donnie’s sweet marriage proposal: “Beautiful Eloise will you marry me.”

Eloise of course accepted, and Donnie went on to share the proposal snap on the Coco Cola Facebook page. The post has since gained over 170,000 likes.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Coca-Cola Life is to hit the UK market this September, and apparently a 330ml can of it only contains 89 calories and 22.1 grams of sugar, whereas regular coke contains 139 calories and 35 grams of sugar.

The new drink is sweetened with a blend of sugar and stevia leaf extract, and enables Coca Cola to “provide consumers with a new option with fewer calories”.

The company also revealed that they’re working to address the public health challenge of obesity in the UK and across Europe, and will “continue to take actions that help people balance their lifestyles”.

Aren’t they lovely? Now, when is it coming to Ireland?!

Coca Cola is not just for drinking  – it’s a pretty handy domestic “tool” to have lying around.  Although you might be put off drinking it for a while after reading this…

An excellent rust buster
If you have a couple of rusty objects floating around, soak them in a coke overnight and then simply get a-scrubbing in the morning. The rust will disappear in front of your eyes.

Clean your clothes
Yes, Coke can free your clothes of grease and blood stains. Pour a can of Coke into your washing machine and put on a normal cycle. It’s also pretty handy for freshening up really smelly clothes.

Clean your car windows
Coke is really handy for removing dirt build up on car windows. Pour over the windscreen and rub off with a damp cloth.

De-blacken your pots
If you’,re prone to burning your dinner, this one will come in really handy. All you need to do is pour in enough Coke to cover the black layer and place it on a low heat for an hour. Simply wipe away – amazing!
