I'm looking forward to the day when you can buy a SIM card from a cell carrier which offers only data and text, no voice call support.
Also, am I the only one that is mildly disappointed that Coke's headquarters isn't shaped like a huge Coke can?
Probably the largest and most sophisticated in the world.
1.7 billions coca cola beverages are consumed every single day.
Coca cola carries more than 3,500 SKUs
There are 33 non-alcoholic brands that generate over $1 billion in annual revenue. Coca-Cola owns 15 of them.

I do not want people having that many ways to contact (interrupt) me.
You can get these now. Get an LTE USB stick sim and add a $10 text package to it. You can add voice as well, but why bother.

Is this hyperbole? If you will suffer my pontifications for a moment, i would argue that :
Voice is a poor substitute for face to face communication, as great detail in body language is lost.
Further, text is a poor substitute for voice since great detail in inflection and tone is lost.
While it is true that a great majority of my conversations at work are by text/email, i would maintain that my most productive/useful ones are still face-to-face.
This principle applies even more strongly to conversations with my friends and family.
I am quite curious as to if you would fully give up voice for remote communication?
This is absolutely ridiculous. Do you expect Subway's headquarters to be shaped like a cold-cut sandwich?
In all seriousness, The Coca-Cola Company produces and distributes only their syrup concentrate to franchisees, whom bottle it for sale. Yes they have a subsidiary which oversees North American production and distribution of beverages, however that is the only one they own and operate.
And, with that in mind, their headquarters should resemble a large bag of goo instead of their trademark bottles.
That's not to suggest that I would want to work in a building shaped like a bottle, a can, a newspaper, toilet bowl cleaner, or anything other than a building.
What's wrong with a bit of whimsy and/or promoting a bit of esprit du corps? And in a F500 consumer company, if you can make something iconic always be used as a stock photo in articles about your business, sector, or region, it probably is a bonus.
