TIL: Aluminium bottles are a thing.
Up until now I only knew thick reusable plastic, thin recycleable plastic and reusable glas as the usual materials for bottles.
Edit: Oh, wait… I’m stupid. I simply forgot that cans exist as I haven’t drunken cola from a can in decades.
Obligatory ‘username checks out’
Jokes aside… how common are cans in the US still?
The thing still often seen in cans here are energy drinks. And those are fittingly often “non-standard sizes” (basically adapted from US sizes with less filling, for example 12 oz -> ⅓ L) that never existed when cans (¼ and ½ L being the normal sizes) where still more common.
Ohh, and cheap beer…
But I have honestly not touched a coca cola can for more than two decades.
Cans are incredibly common if you’re buying in any quantity. You can get flats of 24 or more. You aren’t really buying them at that quantity in plastic usually. No one other than wholesale places would sell that many in plastic that either. It’s almost all 6s or 8s
Anything but glass!
/s
Cola in glass tastes much better though
nah it’s the lack of corn syrup
The glass bottle stuff they sell at major retailers is the same corn syrup stuff.
Coke in a glass bottle has just as much corn syrup as coke in plastic bottles or aluminum cans.
Often the glass bottles are marketed as “Mexican Coke” and use cane sugar with no corn syrup.
Was being sarcastic
So that’s what this was about. A big handout of the petroleum industry. I should have known.
And, of course, Coca-Cola is a pretty captive market. People will not give up their Coke.
Ehh, I kinda doubt that. Aluminum manufacture is pretty energy-intensive. Energy that would probably come from petroleum.
I don’t really believe he thinks any more about what he’s lashing out at than a ferret in a war-dance.
I don’t think I’ve had coke in at least 10years. How do people still drink this garbage
Because people like the taste obviously
I like the glass bottle real sugar Coke’s as a treat but that’s it. I won’t drink soda out of plastic but I don’t really drink it.
