Just looks like “tall can” of beer to me.

Why are they making the diet cans smaller? It would make more sense to make the sugared cans smaller… The campaign is terrible, but for a moment I thought that America was making an effort to cut down it’s sugar consumption.

And that’s exactly how cigarettes used to be marketed, as I’m sure you’re aware. http://designcrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/DC1110CA-17.jpg

Pepsi is making a major appeal to Pathos with this look. I’m just suprised that the advertising is so up front about its connection to female features. Something that could be added to this discussion is a consideration of style. Obviously thinness is not always the healthiest option for a woman but the company seems to be equating the two.

Wondering why you keep reading and posting when you obviously don’t. I think it is amusing when somebody stays interested enough to comment on stuff they say they don’t care about. I imagine most of us don’t care about 90% of what is on the internet. It would take an awful lot of time to post to others that we think they are stupid for caring about things we don’t. What makes someone go through that effort? Why is it so important for you to let us know that you think you are better than us because you have different interests?

I don’t know if that’s what is happening. Most major soda brands seem to be selling short cans in 6-packs, I think they have 8oz. in them. Something else new and strange is the 1.5 liter bottles. I can’t remember if the major brands still sell 3-liter bottles or just the store brand anymore, but I can’t imagine buying 1.5 liters of soda. There aren’t too many positive reasons for buying 1 liter, except certain sodas only seem to come in 1-liters (like drink mixers you might not use up 2-liters before the fizz runs out), or to bring to work every day is easier to bring 1 liter per day instead of keep replacing 2-liters because you drink a lot of soda. I really hope the final stage of this plan is not going to short people out on the amount of soda they expect in the container they buy.

They have shorted the “half gallon” brick size of ice cream and many have gotten used to the luxury-brand pints, which are probably made by the same makers and cost more than their popular-brand bricks. And then they sell useless impulse-sized ice creams in the freezer of the supermarket. How much does 6 oz. of ice cream cost, just over a dollar, maybe up to $2, because that’s all you want and a cheap treat and confines you to a regulated caloric indulgence, but when it adds up to more than $10 for a brick or $6 for a pint, ask yourself. Like my mom said when we wanted ice cream from a jangly truck, we have ice cream in the house. Don’t eat it all at once.

Weirdly, Pepsi Max has more caffeine and Coke Zero has less than their regular diet counterparts.

It’s funny that Pepsi redesigned their diet can to be thin when their redesigned logo still looks likes a fat white belly spilling out of a red t-shirt and over a pair of jeans.

Cascade Ice isn’t like a diet soda — it’s a flavored sparkling water. I like it because it doesn’t have all the weird ingredients like sugar, sodium and gluten like most sodas do, but still has the “bubbly” factor.
