Coca Cola is now selling 12-ounce plastic bottles of its products, the same size as the classic
cans, but conveniently resealable. I have heard heated debates whether the soda tastes better in bottles or cans.
I usually prefer Coke in cans to Coke in bottles, because I can't drink the whole bottle before the soda becomes flat.
20-ounces of soda are too much for me most of the time. If you like the convenience (or flavor) of bottled Coke,
but find that the 20-ounce size is too large for you to finish or too difficult to cram in your lunchbox, keep an eye
out for these little guys at supermarkets and superstores in your area.

I think this is a really good idea. I hope people quench their thirst with one of these and not one 20oz.
I drank an entire 1liter bottle of pop once. Oh god...
and it was during a high school production of "Arsenic and Old Lace".
And I finished it before the end of the first scene.
And I couldn't stop myself!

When I think bottles, I think 8 oz glass. Definitely the best way to go.

Glass bottle sodas are always the best way to go. Sodas with (cane) sugar is always better than the crap with high fructose corn syrup.
I tend to stay away from those with all the artificial crap.
One of my favorite colas is Red Rock Cola, which came out before Coke by a few years.

i think soft drinks taste best in glass bottles. Plastic makes the soda taste more like chemicals- maybe they should just concentrate on making glass bottles of coke more common.

Why the trend towards plastic bottles replacing aluminum cans? It must be more profitable for the bottler. Aluminum can be recyled over and over while plastic can not. I would think this makes aluminum far more environmentally friendly than plastic

Honestly, i'd drink more soda if they came in 6-8oz cans. The stuff is simply too sweet for my tastes, so I drink it like it's dessert or aperitif. I mean, would you drink 12 oz of port wine after a meal? I think not. Anyways, us americans need to cut back on the refined sugars and look at the soda drinking statistics. We outconsume any other country by 2x in soda consumption. Insane.
