Shiny Sugar Shit For Sale

I am SO GLAD I do not drink the crap (the carbonation gives me hiccups).

They REALLY DO THINK YOU are an IDIOT, Americans!

"Coke turns to new packaging in crowded beverage market" by Joe Guy Collier, Cox Newspapers | July 5, 2009

ATLANTA - “There was a point in time when value was defined as more - more ounces for less [money],’’ said Ralph Kytan, vice president of Coke’s North American bottling operations.

And NOW?

Coke hopes to rewrite the value equation.

So now LESS is MORE? Tell it to THEM!

Package diversity is about matching up the benefits of the package with the needs of the purchaser for the occasion they’re buying for,’’ Kytan said.

Yeah, I know something else that comes in a package.

At convenience stores, the 20-ounce is the top-seller, but its price of more than $1 has hurt sales. A teenager looking for a more affordable option might grab a 16-ounce bottle priced at 99 cents, Steckhan said.

Yeah, I noticed at the supermarket that SOME THINGS COST the SAME but there is LESS of them in the "package!" I call it what it is: LOOTING!

At the grocery store, the 12-pack and 2-liter are the top sellers. But the 50-ounce twin-pack might be more appealing for smaller families, he said. One bottle can be shared for a meal, leaving the other unopened and fresh for the next meal.

Yeah, CONSUME LESS so SOME RICH ELITER can STUFF HIMSELF because IT SURE AIN'T GOING to the HUNGRY!!!!

Coke also has high hopes for its 2-liter contour, Steckhan said. The original contour glass bottle was created in 1916 to help Coke stand out from the pack.

And then the STATE can HOLLER FATSO at the KIDS!!!

--more--"

So HOW MUCH would YOU PAY for S***, 'murka?

I usually pay a $1.50 on weekdays and Saturday and $4 on Sunday --- when I buy!
