Giant Coca Cola man springs up in Newtown
Posted on 07. Jun, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
Like the marshmallow man in Ghostbusters
Made with 2500 standard Coke bottle crates – this huge ‘fan man’ is pretty damn impressive. It’s located in Newtown Joburg at the fan park over there. Hopefully Cape Town cracks the nod to get one as well.
The ‘man’ weighs 25 tonnes and stands 16.5 meter tall.

Cratefan is a recycling initiative, created using a skeleton of scaffolding clad with around 2500 1.25l Coca-Cola crates.
All the materials will be reused/recycled once he has finished celebrating.
