Launched in 1982, Diet Coke turns 30 this year, and to celebrate it, the brand threw 30-second birthday parties for loyal fans. The 30-second birthday parties were rewarded to a few of the brand's biggest fans who tweeted Coke on Twitter via the hashtag #DietCokeBday with special birthday wishes or a birthday haiku. Diet Coke then threw speedy birthday parties for winning tweeters, who also received a one-year supply of Diet Coke. You can watch the reaction of one of its fans here (visit Brand Channel for more).
