Coca-Cola bottles on floor/Coke spills on floor/Floor replaced with Coke


Explanation:
Coca-Cola bottles or bottled (pours out, poured out) on floor/Coke spills on floor/Floor replaced with Coke
Надо учесть, что здесь перевод заголовок, поэтому артикль и вспом. глаголы не нужны
Coca Cola bottled (poured out) on floor/Coke spilled on floor/Floor replaced Coke

This is news headline so no need to use article and auxiliary verbs etc.
