I'm thinking that maybe Pepsi did do a redesign and that might explain the delay for some areas. The other day while getting my lunch at the deli, I sat going thru their fridge reading the caps down the neck of the bottle until I found a winner (I was the only customer in the store, and the guy was in the back heating my food). It took me about 5 bottles to locate one, and I was able to read them very easily (I drink Mist, so the clear soda helps) Two days later, I went back, found they had a new shipment in, and tried again to read the caps... this time I wasn't able to. I tried every possible angle to read the cap, even with the bottle empty, I still wasn't able to read it from the outside. Now its possible I got lucky the first time and hit just the right angle to read it, or maybe I was just unlucky the second time. But it struck me that my first attempt I was able to see multiple caps with ease, and on my 2nd, no matter what I did, I just couldn't read the cap. So the thought occured to me that Pepsi may have caught on, and redesigned the bottle by lengthing the neck or cap just slightly. Certainly a redesign would explain the delays. If they found out about the trick right after the first wave was filled/shipped, they could very well have delayed the next wave while a new bottle was designed. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
