[USMA:35984] Re: Diet Coke packaging changed

[Remek Kocz]

A friend of mine from Detroit is noticing a definite trend in the soft drink bottles.  The 1/2-liter bottle is replacing the 20 oz. bottle in that area's grocery stores.  Just about the only place the 20 oz. bottles are available are convenience stores.  Not the same in a "secondary market" like Rochester, NY, but bigger cities are usually bellwethers of coming trends.  We can hope that this continuing shift to metric sizes in the juice/soft-drink industry will continue and spill over to other categories on the retail shelf.

This is a very encouraging sign. Isn't the clarity and simplicity just
great!

(A very good photo too - well done)

Let's hope we see more of this on other products soon.

Looks like Coca Cola has moved from the old ".5L" or "16.9 oz" labeling to
500 mL.
