Have You Noticed the New Tabs on Coke Cans?

The holes are much bigger than they were. I found myself drinking a can in record time. I guess that's the idea. A higher flow rate causes one to buy more. Interesting.

Where do you live? We've had them here on Mountain Dew cans forever.

Are those the ones the beer companies put out a couple years ago (so the alk-ies could drink more)?

They've been around for a long time now. I hate 'em. More often then not those redesigned tabs spray the contents all over your fingers when you open the can. Lame.

Haven't noticed them on Coke cans yet. Surge has always had them, I think Mug does too. Yeah it was "invented" by Bud or something so that you'd drink one and think "I drank that too fast, no way that was enough" and buy another.

I just down mountain dews w/the big tops like in 1min and I'm not even trying to drink it fast. I think they make money w/the bigger openings.

I don't like people messin' with my Coke.

The whole &quot;New Coke&quot; experience is still sore point.
