[USMA:37460] Coke now being sold in metric sizes.

[Mike Millet]

On a recent trip through the supermarket I noticed that the six packs of bottles of coke and other Coke branded products were marked as 500mL (16.9 Fl. oz.). I haven't ever seen a 500mL bottle of soda so I guess this counts as progress.

Although I do admit to a bit of outrage when seeing that much empty space in the bottle. Size concerns aside if they're going to go to rounded metric packages they had better switch the 591mL bottles of Coke to 600mL.  The sheer fact of me losing out on the extra 100mL of caffeine guarantees I will never buy one of these six pack packages :). The least they could have done was make the 500mL bottle smaller so that you dont have giant empty space between the lid and the liquid.

Still, yet one more sign of progress.
