A few unsuspecting couples had a nice treat fall in their lap this past Valentine’s Day when this [Coca Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-dreamworld) commercial concept called for cola-bearing balloons to float through the sky.

The commercial starts on a hill, where dozens of balloons are strapped to unopened cans of Coca Cola. Light, ambient music plays in the background and the balloons are released one after another. Couples walk along the water and some point up to the sky after noticing the floating balloons. As they continue to walk, the balloons eventually descend on them.

This is a warm-hearted Coca Cola commercial that really gets in the spirit of Valentine’s Day without being cheesy or over the top. Except for the fact the commercial opens by stating the date of this balloon launch, there is nothing in the commercial to indicate this is Valentine’s Day.
