Coke- 12oz plastic bottles

[JEDI]

at my local supermarket, i saw 8pack of 12oz plastic bottles of coke.

and it was more expensive than the 12 pack of 12oz cans of coke.

Why even bother w/12oz bottles?

Resealable, doesn't waste aluminum.

Only thing I can think of is it'd be better for those who don't drink much and are highly prone to spill things. Namely, little kids.

What is the point of those 8oz cans of soda, they cost the same as the 12 oz cans.

Like all major corporations, they assume the general consumer is stupid as hell, and price accordingly. Unfortunately, they're usually right.

All cans are being discontinued.

Why would anyone want to do that?

Besides...Pepsi just doesn't taste the same if it's not from a can.

I didn't read this thread but will sayit's probably because they're resealable 😛

Bottles are good for the car, biking, etc... Also, you can't have cans in a library.

they look cute plus they are great for kids. Once in a while you pack a one for them. they don't drink much so a full 12 oz would be a waste.

what they have 12 oz bottles? I know coke makes 16oz ones. I never seen 12oz before except maybe in the old glass bottle form.

The original contour bottles were 6.5oz., they also had 10, 12, and 26oz versions of the glass bottles, up until the mid 70s when they started standardizing the sizes.
