Looking for the 20ouncers


16.9oz? Posted by Hello

While I was filling out my taxes, I needed a caffeine/sugar fix. I broke into my six pack of Pepsi that I bought specifically for my job. It's cheaper than using the vending machine. While I was shopping, I noticed that the 20oz bottles are disappearing. Pop (soda, for you others) was sold mainly in three sizes: 12oz cans, 20oz bottles, and 2 liter bottles. Now there are these little 6oz cans (which is a waste of metal), 12oz bottles (by Coke), 1/2 liter bottles, 1 liter bottles, and the regular 2 liter bottles. What happened to the good ol' fashioned 20oz bottles!?

I feel like that old guy in the book 1984. Are we finally going to metric with these pop bottles? The 20oz bottles were just right. Now I have to deal with less than I want or more than I want. Leave it up to the companies to screw up my addiction.
