Coke Can Brilliance

Being from Atlanta, I have to be a Coke supporter. Plus I like it more than Pepsi. No really, I've taken the blind taste test and I can tell a difference. My problem is that on the occassion that I want a Coke, which is rare since it fills me up and I'd just generally prefer iced tea, I can never drink an entire can. And I don't like to be wasteful.

Coke understands. Coke has little red spies everywhere gauging interest and comments and reporting back to the home base. This past month they came out with coke mini, or skinny. Not the fat and short model. No, this is the petite and slim model.

Hello there petite, 90 calorie, model. I know there's Coke Zero, and Diet Coke and blah blah blah. But look how slick and cool this can looks! It's like the suave, ladies-man younger brother. I think some of my fascination, too, is that I hate Red Bull. I'm going somewhere with this, trust me. I hate Red Bull but it's the cool thing to do (you see people with those tiny cans everywhere and they make you feel less productive because they're all hyped up on super-caffeine) and the new Coke gives me a way to be cool, don't you see? Well at least look cool. This is all very deeply-rooted and serious.

Way to go Coca-Cola. Your new marketing ploy, simply changing the shape of the can, equals brilliance. I totally, and willingly buy into it. I now look cool, and I'm being less wasteful. A+. Bravo.

There's a winning idea. I'll look cool and you can look homeless. Everybody wins!

Hooray Coke! Now they need to introduce the 40oz can for those who think 1 normal can is not enough. I'll take my 40oz coke in a brown bag please.
