Hello Tom

I'd agree with the others who said the big bottles are handy for parties etc. But I think it's a shame that you're penalized for not drinking as much as some.

I, like you, hate it when the pop goes flat. yuk!!! Got goosebumps just thinking about it. lol
For larger groups, maybe the whole family who will suck it down in a few hours! If your like me a can a day will do. That way its always fresh! I don't drink that much Colas but when I do it's got to FFiiizzzzz!!!!!! If you open one of those big bottles and don't use it before it goes flat you can always cook with it. It is a good steak marinade there are lots of recipes online maybe you can check them out sometime. I hate wasting stuff.
They probably do it so you throw out the last of the bottle and go get another one in less time than it'd take to finish. It's a good marketing technique.
I think the larger bottles were designed for larger groups of people. They do still make one & two litre, as well as individual serving sizes. If you have to throw it out, it isn't a saving, so just get the smaller bottles.
Hi Tom,

Nowadays families are much smaller so it doesn't make sense, but they're handy for parties.

I never buy them because like you said, before you can finish the drink it's flat.

Thank heavens they make smaller containers for most drinks.
