Coca-Cola says it will sell more soda in plastic bottles if aluminum tariffs take effect
Coca-Cola can also find domestic aluminum sources and increase the price for customers, CEO James Quincey said.
TIL: Aluminium bottles are a thing.
Up until now I only knew thick reusable plastic, thin recycleable plastic and reusable glas as the usual materials for bottles.
Edit: Oh, wait... I'm stupid. I simply forgot that cans exist as I haven't drunken cola from a can in decades.
Obligatory 'username checks out'
Jokes aside... how common are cans in the US still?
The thing still often seen in cans here are energy drinks. And those are fittingly often "non-standard sizes" (basically adapted from US sizes with less filling, for example 12 oz -> ⅓ L) that never existed when cans (¼ and ½ L being the normal sizes) where still more common.
Ohh, and cheap beer...
But I have honestly not touched a coca cola can for more than two decades.
So that's what this was about. A big handout of the petroleum industry. I should have known.
And, of course, Coca-Cola is a pretty captive market. People will not give up their Coke.
Ehh, I kinda doubt that. Aluminum manufacture is pretty energy-intensive. Energy that would probably come from petroleum.
I don't really believe he thinks any more about what he's lashing out at than a ferret in a war-dance.
I don't think I've had coke in at least 10years. How do people still drink this garbage
I like the glass bottle real sugar Coke’s as a treat but that’s it. I won’t drink soda out of plastic but I don’t really drink it.
Because people like the taste obviously
