Sorry guys... but this is not actually true! It's an urban myth! Coke didn't invent the current image of Santa, but it's a myth that they did (because he appeared in their advertising and shares the same colours). It simply isn't true!

Here's a link to some pics of Santa (before Coke used him) in his "Coke" colours!
