That is the coolest thing I have seen in a LONG TIME!!!

THANKS for sharing that!!!!

WHY THE $$$#(* didnt I invent that!!!! lol

What I like about that is how many of us open up a can, and as we watch TV, or fall asleep watchin TV (lol) we only drank half the can... or if we just need half a can for a mixed drink.... or if you JUST want half worth of a coke..... IT's ENDLESS the reasons why this is great!!

I know they make half sizes... but in my area a 6 pcak of half sizes costs the same as a 6 pack of regular size!!!
Anyone know if this will actually go into production here?
I know when I travel to Europe.. they have smaller skinny cans (kinda like a small Red Bull can) and I love that!!

I wonder how long before the beer companies catch on to help reduce the number of "floaters" left lying around after a good night  :drinking:

        Those small cans have been around for a long time with little sucess.
I wonder why it took so long to come up with the idea of wraping 2 of them together so they now could be sold in vending machines?

        Brilliant!

So if you want the whole can of Coke, you'd have to break them down and open the lower one separately?


While I hate wasting a half can of coke because I don't want all of it it, I can see them thinking this is a good excuse to either charge an extra quarter a can, or sell the cans in two 5 fl oz "half cans" together for the same price as a single 12 fl oz can.   :down:

You can bet if they start selling them here they'll mark up the unit price for such packaging.  :darn:

EDIT: I saw the "Hug Me" machine in that video. That's the one that gives free Coca Cola if you hug it, isn't it? That's what I'd like to see here.  Like they would ever do that.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

On second thoughts, the videos of some people interacting with the machine might look like a Carl's Jr. commerical.  :Oo:

That is cool!

I wonder if I will ever see them.  Would be perfect for me and my Kid.

I never thought of that.... combining 2 flavours in one can!

I like Coke, my wife likes Root Beer.
One purchase... 2 flavours!

I'm sure they would charge more at the start... but at the same time, if Pepsi doesnt do this same can, Coke can't price it too much higher to make people buy Pepsi.

Just sayin

       Good point........maybe Coke and Diet Coke?

Around here, Coca-Cola tends to cost noticeably more than Pepsi anyway, so I don't suppose that would concern them too much.

I bet they would put the screws to consumers using this to sell "variety paks". I can see it now, $4.99 for an 8 pack of 8 ounce "cans". Each one 4 fluid ounces of Coke, 4 of the normally cheaper Grape Fanta.

Come to think of it, they might be esctatic about something like that.
