I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta' rub me the right way?!.....Coca Cola launching new plastic bottle size......

Hopefully, craft brewers will follow suit and increase their 12 oz bottles to 13.2 oz.

The current size of their 6 pack bottles is 16.9 ounces. How do I know? My wife buys a veritable crapload of Diet Coke. She goes through at least a 2 liter bottle, plus a few half liter bottles every day. So they're probably going to price the new 13.2 ounce bottle the same as the half liter bottles and hope nobody notices.

Those six packs of half liter bottles may depend on which bottler serves your area. I have seen them, but the 6 pack of 20 oz bottles is still the most common one I see around here.

We have 6 packs of 24oz bottles here as well.

Has anyone tried the Coke with Coffee added? I saw it at Wally World today. I wonder if it is double the caffeine?

Wasn't that tempted by it.

13.2 does seem like an odd size, especially in the rest of the metricated world. They could have done 13.5 and marketed it as a 400ml drink elsewhere, but 390ml?? Weird. But then again, if you are selling a 500ml drink, 400ml doesn't make much sense.

Why 13.2?

Because that's 390 ml and that.... um.... Yeah, I don't know either...
Ha! Did the same math. Came to the same conclusion. Have we overlooked some other measuring system?
