Coke machine arcade game?

Never heard or seen this before. Came across it in a trade magazine "The Coca-Cola Bottler" Oct 1982!
Play " Catch a Coke" on one or "Spell Coke" on another.
"All the pizzazz of the electronic arcade"
Now I want another Coke machine
Anybody ever see or have one?

The closest thing to that that I remember is spelling a word under the bottle caps!!! Wonder if they actually ever made any of these?

Don't know, but the hunt is on!
I know they made the "talking" ones around the same time, but this is a new one on me!

I have one out of a machine. It plugs into a jones plug and then the mech plugs into it. They are really neat. I'll try and post a picture later.

As a kid I had a handheld game called catch a coke,.. my Dad brought it home from a Coca-Cola Bottlers Convention one year... I'll have to see if I can find it.. it was a monkey throuwing cans of coke out of a tree if I recall.. and you had to catch them before they hit the ground... again 1980's era video games... pretty simple.!
here is a link to more detail.. I had the one on the top, the red handheld..

Found a video of the hand held. The Hand Held Museum says the Coin-op versions the same.

Thnaks for the Info! Love that classic 80's Tech. I remember the "Talking Machines" and the Monkey game.
