Government's role regulating free speech needs to be as limited as possible. The freedom allowed under the 1st Amendment isn't always attractive, yet to limit free expression is always the worst possible option.

We've had this wonderful innovation for some time. Coke actually unveiled this packaging 8/2001, has just taken some time to trickle down.

It's the exact perfect size to fit in my fridge. You can even get 2 and stack 'em! Kudos to Coke!

I wonder if Coca Cola is releasing this marvel into different test markets. I'm in Atlanta, Coca Cola headquarters, and we have had this package design for a very long time now. It definitely is a smart idea. Now, let's see if the genius that dreamed it up get any recognition from Coke!

Yeah, I'm in Atlanta, too, and we've had these for several years now. I have to admit that at first I didn't like the new design. If you aren't careful when you open the fridge-pack, Diet Cokes will cascade out of the package and onto the floor, usually plunking painfully on the top of the foot! Now that I'm careful when I open the darn things, I like 'em.
Is this just a blonde thing?

I moved from Pensacola, FL to Fresno, CA last October...P'cola didn't have it yet, but Fresno did when I got here. This is one of the best ideas they've had in a long time, besides the vanilla version itself. Although vanilla coke does make me miss Waffle House something awful...

Heh. I have a love affair with cheap greasy food. And a nasty case of nostalgia.
I just hate it when that happens. *grin*

It's a very good product, although I'm more a Diet Cherry Coke man myself.

I first noticed the new packaging when I was in Georgia for a training thing. I loved it! And I found it at my Food Lion just this weekend.
Funny that James says he's more the Cherry Coke kind of guy, he's the one that introduced Vanilla Diet Coke to me and I'm addicted!

I live in the Atlanta area and we have had the new 12 packs for about 1/2 a year now. Coke has done it right. We now never buy pepsi products because they do not fit in the fridge. We don't buy cheaper cases, because (you guessed it) they don't fit in the fridge.
The marketing folks got one right and coke will experience some significant market share growth because of the new cases. They made the case that makes all others inconvienant.
