That sounds extremely odd to me. But, you should switch to Pepsi anyway...it's where it's at.

Maybe your store just stopped carrying them. I can't see Coke deciding not to make 2 liters anymore. That'd be stupid.

I've never seen a 1.5L bottle either. I've seen a six pack of the .5L, but never a 1.5L.

Havn't seen any 1.5L bottles.

Next time I go, i'll check it out. If Coke does do this, i'll start buying more pepsi.

I was freaked out the first time I saw a 3 liter bottle (in Birmingham, Alabama).

We don't have that up north.

BBQ is the food of the south. I'm not into it though. Guess I'm not a true southerner. :D

Well, I was, but I'm not like many other southerners. That's why I say I'm not a "true southerner". I don't call all soda "coke", and I don't like BBQ.

I do sound like a southerner though. :D

That annoys me like crazy, calling all soft drinks, soda or pop "Coke".

$#@! it's not all "Coke".

BBQ, Coke, and crawfish are where it's at.

Out of curiosity, were they selling for the same price that 2-liters usually go for?

Has your area been known for being a test market?

Fool! Buy in a case. I never drink out of bottles because the drink turns to crap soon. Go with cans :) I buy my cases of pepsi products for $3-3.50/piece depending upon the sale. It's well worth the packaging and the gaurantee that it will be fizzy and fine each time.

Yep, Greedy Corp America at work.

They have been airing the new ads like crazy here pushing the new 13 Oz size that "fits" easier everywhere while they do away with the 20 Oz size and still charge the same price of the 20 Oz and only get 13 Oz.

Just bend over and say Ah...yep fits perfectly alright.
