Soda $cam

"Small cans mean big profits for soda makers, less guilt for dieters

NEW YORK — Americans want to cut back on soda, and they’re willing to pay to do it. Coke and Pepsi are pushing smaller cans and bottles that contain fewer calories and, they say, cause less guilt. But the cute little cans can cost more than twice as much per ounce. The shift means 7.5-ounce ‘‘mini-cans’’ and 8-ounce and 8.5-ounce glass and aluminum bottles are taking up more space on supermarket shelves. They’ve been around for a few years, but Coke and Pepsi are now marketing them more aggressively." 

(Blog editor is stunned at the insulting Orwellian spin applied to this particular piece of propaganda. 

You, the set-upon, losing ground consumer of AmeriKa will happily pay more for less product so you can be healthier. 

Is their NO LEVEL OF BULLSHIT low enough for the pathetic propagandists that call themselves "journalists?"

I think you know what I am NOT having to wash down my lunch, readers.)
