Watch what you buy. I normally pick up a six pack of Bottles 24fl Oz. Get home a d now they are 16.9 Fl Oz for the same price as the old 24's.

Soda pop is bad for ya[:)]
Yep.
I drink water Coffee or beer...That's it.
I have been working for bottling companies for the last 15 years and have seen the bottles change over the years. Typically the change is in the diameter and not the height. Looks the same but it's not.
Bottlers are also moving more and more to metric measurements so,16.9 once equals 500ml.
Most people will gritch about a price change, but not even notice a volume change.
Did you notice that the bottle is probably the same height but a different diameter?

Sugar. Caffeine. Chemicals. It is poison.
Yep,..I don't drink any of that crud.

Absolutely. Or a Bud Lite.
Been seeing Mt.Dew in bottles with sugar too.
And of course, gotta have some Cheerwine with sugar once in a while.
Especially with Zack's hotdogs in Burlington.[:D]
