Why don't they put coke in a glass bottle anymore?!


Question:

Why don't they put coke in a glass bottle anymore?

what's with the cans and plastic bottles? Coke tasted better in the glass bottle. More fresh.


Answers:
The reason they put coke in Plastic Bottles and cans is that it is cheaper. You can sometimes still find coke in glass small bottles at grocery stores

Hmmm...not too sure on this question but I would have to say probably cost efficient..tis easier to reuse plastic and perhaps too many bottles were getting broken upon delivery., so they changed to plastic. I agree tho, it does taste better in a glass bottle.

It probably costs too much to use glass bottles.

plastic can be reused and recycled gotta save the planet!!

Coke is still available in 12 oz. glass bottles where I live (New York). The big bottles, though, are long gone. The plastic liter bottles are lighter and stronger.

where I live you can still buy coke in glass bottles but they are about $4 for a six pack.

Glass is more expensive and break easier. Other countries Still use glass bottles but they are reused.

I had a big glass bottle of Coke at a Mexican restaurant just a few minutes ago. Maybe they got it from Mexico.

safty reasons and can put bad things in it and say it is just coke
if you get my drift

I'm pretty sure you can still get coke in glass bottles, but you just don't see it often.

Plastic is easier to handle, and it weighs less than glass, therefore is cheaper to ship.

gee think this one through people. if someone got millions of dollars from suing McDonald's because their coffee was hot, imagine how much money somebody could get from Coke a Cola for cutting their stupid selves on a broken bottle...................

I know this doesn't answer the question but you should swing by your local mexican grocer if you have one and pick up the coke they have in glass bottles.

A little FYI about those is the second ingredient is SUGAR and not "high fructose corn syrup" like the ones in plastic bottles. I think that's why the glass ones taste so much better to me.

Years ago there were a bunch of morons that kept knocking them off the shelf in grocery stores and because they were under pressure in the glass bottles they would explode when they hit the ground and people where getting hurt (because they were fat and stupid) and suing Coke and ruing it for the rest of us.
