Coca-Cola says it will sell more soda in plastic bottles if aluminum tariffs take effect
Coca-Cola can also find domestic aluminum sources and increase the price for customers, CEO James Quincey said.
You're viewing a single thread.
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
Interesting...
I'm used to stuff like this:
I have never seen pop sold like the left and centre, wow. Is the middle one a straight up milk crate type quality?
Is the middle one a straight up milk crate type quality?
😂 How would I know?
Milk usually comes in water-proofed carton boxes:
Jokes aside... probably yes. Although the last time I saw crates of milk was in school in the early 1990s. But I think all those crates are basically identical.
Do you have (imported) beer in such crates? Then you should be able to compare them yourself as beer is usually produced locally at the traditional brewery and then shipped globally, original bottles and crates often included.
Milk crates aren't common now, those just looked solid like that.
I've never seen any alcohol sold like your left 2 coke images.
The left one is more coke specific matching the plastic bottles. It's also much more lightweight.
But the center one is basically used in very little variation but color and print for most glas bottles.
I assume there's a high deposit on something of that quality? Would be great if you needed some crates to move though, just hang onto some for awhile.
