SICHONSTEVE Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 About 2 years ago these cans of gut rot, caffeine, sugar and chemicals with names I`ve never heard of except I know they eventually kill you, discretely decreased the amount of liquid inside the cans from 330ml to 325ml. Since then I have not drunk the stuff. I progressed onto real home made fruit juices, tastes better, feel better. Sounds like the air we breathe and food we eat. Every thought about how much sugar you consume as well in those HEALTHY fruit juices or the ingested organochlorine derivatives? Terrible. Enjoy life and everything in Zmoderation and do yourself no harm Marcusd. Via tapatalk Where does the sugar come from if he juices at home? The only sugar present will be natural sugars contained in the fruit and not the poison variants such as HFCS and it's derivatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockheed Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I was chatting to a Coke representative a few years back and in OZ, the biggest problem coke faced at that time was the Asian imports of the smaller coke cans. No doubt other countries are experiencing the same problem. I assume the different labelling and can types would allow Coke to determine the distributor more easily so they can put a stop to the cheaper imports.

trainman34014 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The half can idea is the Coke company's answer to saving lives.

Saan Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The Japanese had these skinny cans of Coke in the eighties. They have often been design trend setters so it is a wonder they didn't reach here before now. Maybe they were not a success then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about giving up sex, any kind of food that tastes good and alcohol. They can all cause harm. Sex is good for you unless it is with the professional wrestlers wife that is standing right next to the bed with two naked people inside!! I eat delicious food all the time and it is extremely healthy food as I am a health guru. It doesn't have to be poison like Burger king or KFC. Also, alcohol in moderation is good for you (especially red wine) and it is good for your cholesterol (although it will elevate your triglycerides).

JimShortz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 As has been pointed out in other threads-- didn't most of us come here to avoid nanny states and the nannies who live there? As has been pointed out in other threads, most of us came for the girls. Have you noticed that the new cans are shaped more like a Thai lady, whereas the old ones are more like the larger western lady "fatass" shape... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 ..... and another thing ....... the can insulator cooler cups don't fit the smaller thinner can...... ..... also its very hard to get the tip of your finger under the snap top..... nawww give me the fat assed old lady cans.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotinsiam Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes, I've seen them and I don't like them, at all. Not only do they create stacking problems on shelves that used to hold six-packs, two high, but our little drink refrigerator has wire shelves and if they're not placed "just so", then they tip over on the refrigerator shelf. Yeah, I know there are bigger annoyances in life, but why'd they have to make this change? During the couple weeks they were making the switch, it was difficult to find Coke Zero and Diet Coke in Chiang Mai. Took me back to the Bad Ole Days (actually months) after the floods when it was impossible to find these products. They also dont stand up in my tin holder in the truck.

Gonzo the Face Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) For me the jury is back in...... verdict is that the whole idea is guilty of being a crappy idea. As Nancy sez , they now don't stack 2 high, which makes for wasted space and enough space for only half the amount of cans. The thin-ness of the can makes for toppling over much easier. The Pull tabs not only are more difficult to open with normal size adult fingers , but also seem to have a tendency to snap off leaving the can unopened, or with just a crack. Of course this requires a small screwdriver type of tool to pop the tab in. Are there any newly arrived members from the US or Europe, and have they gone to the new can over there, or is it just another brilliant chinese chinch idea to add a few coins to someone locals pocket. To me this is a terrible idea, and I do not think it was fully thought out or use tested to any degree. Does any one know if this is all over from Coca Cola or just some local attempt at brilliance? Maybe another 2 baht coin of an idea. Edited February 24, 2014 by Gonzo the Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) One other thing that was mentioned to me........ How are the vending machines to be adjusted to accommodate the new cans.... Interesting... and just another follow up thought......... you ever see a cola vending machine over here...... do they have them at all????

arunsakda Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I drink always from glas bottels, taste better then tins and plastic Is Coke even still available in Glass? Not in the USA anymore. We still have the glass bottles in Japan available from vending machines at Highway Rest stops and outside of big shopping plazas. I drank one last summer. Last Coke I had. Im a Coke Light drinker. Are the cans smaller portions? Many companies have been reducing content of packaged food surreptitiously at the same price to squeeze more profit. The new can shape may also save on bulk shipping costs. Edited February 25, 2014 by arunsakda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Well more than a month has passed since originally posting this thread and the only change in my feelings about this change is that I am more than sure that it is one of the stupidest product changes ever tried. Does anyone know if this is worldwide by Coca Cola or just a local bit of non brilliant expression? These new size cans are enough to make you give up and go to Pepsi.
