The Coke Machine

Ohhhhhhhh all the coke in the world can’t contain my RAEG.

As reported by Bloomberg, the size of coke cans will be cut from 355mL cans to 330mL cans in order to reduce costs of production. Price of coke will still remain the same, however. In doing this, Coca-Cola is effectively passed the cost of increasing fuel and raw materials prices onto us the consumers and me, the vending machine.

Now hopefully, Coca-Cola has considered other things before this reduction. Like, is the current 355mL can at the optimal aluminum/coke ratio? Of not, would reshaping the can help reduce costs? I mean if they considered thing such as this (we all know just because a corporation is large, it does not necessarily mean they make the best decisions), then fine. I’ll go along with their ploy.

And because I’m such a freak, I got into a “discussion” about weather or not the new can has a higher aluminum surface area/volume of coke raito compared to the 355mL can.
