A sign of things to come???
How do they keep the fizz?
Theres nothing like a real glass bottle of coke…
Ah…I remember the good ol’ days when a bag of coke was a bag of coke. You young 'uns don’t know you’ve been born.

So am I, so am I. It was just something I could imagine an ex-hellraiser telling the kids if this catches on. Coca-cola are probably just looking to boost their profit margins from the novelty factor of drinking out of a bag.
can you put an iv line from the bag right into your veins???
Who thought that voiceover was a great idea? Terrible.
Yeah I do think it’s fucking rediculous that they charge you extra money because you can recycle them. As if bringing them in to a recycling center or maching are somehow better than those that put them in the recycle bin for the recycling company.

right, putting something acidic in plastic increases the chemicals leaching into the food by like 50x.
Brilliant idea which will replace bottles and cans in the long run.
Saves the bottle weight while transporting = less gas costs
Flatter bags (not round) saves room by transporting = smaller/less trucks on highway
No bottle sterilization costs
Cans will become obsolete, which means no aluminium will be needed = less energy & material costs
etc…
This is revolutionary, and if it worked for NASA it’ll work worldwide. Look at Capri-Sun for an example.

How long before it gets to america and they start using garbage bags?

Eggs are transported hourly without massive losses, it all depends upon the packageing. A flexible or soft object is in some cases less prone to damage than a hard one. I repeat Capri-Sun.
I don’t know if more baby seals would die from a million floating Coke Bags as opposed to an oil spill, or the rerouting of the gulf stream. They shouldn’t have to die at all, but when big business grabs us by the balls, we inadvertently cough pretty loud.

Why do can drinks no longer come in the six pack holders they used to?
So now they can transport coke easy cause it is in a hard container, SO makes great business sense to put in plastic bags, then create hard containers to put them in. I mean you have already distribution centers around the world creating cans, should only cost a couple of billion to change to plastic containers oh yea and then create the hard plastic containers to put the plastic containers in. Yea like I said this will catch on.

Coca Cola had a first quarter 2012 revenue of over 11 billion and a profit of 2 billion. That means that they could turn over in 2012 upwards of 40 billion and have a profit of say 8 billion. This is of course not only from sales of coke, but from all their brands. They could afford to buy a small country like Madagaskar in 3 years out of their pocket change.
As Latin America makes up 28% of their volume, but only 11% of their revenue, it stands to reason that CC is looking for ways to make more profit on the same volume. Henceforth the bags, which are cheaper and offer the public Coke for less as they don’t have to pay the deposit.
Investment means tax write offs, and many countries give companies like CC large write offs just to keep their business in country. The US did (and still does) the same with corporations like BMW and Mercedes.
By the way, you don’t get a six pack of coke (as opposed to beer) with the little plastic thing-ama-bob anymore because coke discoverd the 1.5 liter PET bottle. What do you think Coca Cola invested to bring those big bottles on the market? That was relatively cheap because they are selling even more coke that way.
^ you guys still get beer with the little plastic things? Havent seen those in years period.
Yes this is a regional thing this will not go state side, nobody drinks out of plastic bags in the US, which is still probably their largest market.
So urr… how do I put my drink down on a table?

Sorry Derek, I’m just nitpicking now, but Latin America is Cokes largest market in volume and the US is Cokes largest market for revenue & profit.
Believe me if Coca Cola goes on a balls out marketing campaign to push plastic baggie Coke, enough people will buy it that we’ll all be suckin that crap threw a straw at a Dodgers game someday.
Look for a big sports event like the World Cup 2014 in Brazil to be the test balloon…
PS: I miss the old 12oz six pack. It was the perfect amount of beer between work and dinner.
It will match my colostomy bag quite nicely.
