Tygers09 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 People just need to read the labels and see what they're buying and don't assume just by the color of the product. Product packaging changes constantly, so you need to be aware; if you don't, it's your own fault. People need to start making decisions for themselves, and not make others do it for them. Coca-Cola is doing this for a cause, and it's only for a temporary/limited run. The red cans will be back in no time, they are a staple in this industry and will never go away.

Tygers09 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 But WTF happened to Santa?Santa can fly away to a new home. Polar bears will drown.Umm.. polar bears can swim, and swim well... like for miles. And their endurance and perservance is unmatched to others in the cold climates.

NJTank Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I wont make this political my views on Global warming are well known. These cans were the stupidest thing Coke did since New Coke. White cans what were they thinking? When you have silver cans for diet coke now, but at one time Diet Coke cans were white. This is confusing to people and people buying coke wants to see red, and this was their blunder. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 A thread about the color of a Coke can turned into global warming and people seriously missing the fact that my post was a smartass joke. Figures with this place.It could be that, wait a minute, they picked white because it was better aesthetically? Because it is. The 12 pack I picked up yesterday is red. Doesn't look as good as the white cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSonicHero Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Looking back at this, my comment was a tad controversial and out of line, and I apologize. I know how sensitive people can be when it comes to politics.Anyways, as said before, I liked the White Cans, and honestly had little problem differentiating between them and Diet Coke.

JBBlackwell Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My understanding was this was a special design to save the wild polar bears. Like a special holiday edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 They should've just put a couple white polar bears on a red can and saved themselves some trouble.Or gotten clever like the brewdog brewery and bottled Coke inside of dead polar bear heads.

Then again I'm also a child of the Nick/All That generation....As am I, just like some of the posters that like the polar bear design but still think it's bad marketing. BTW, I haven't seen the red polar bear cans yet and there's still a pretty big stockload of the white cans at my nearby WinCo and Fred Meyer.

DEAD! Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 We had company lunch yesterday and I picked up a white can. I rinsed it and will keep it alongside the Coke Zero bottle I got during the 2010 Olympic torch run and a small coke can from the UK. I saw, I came, I left.

greyraven8 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Some of the white cans still left.Last week I saw some on the shelves at one of our 'Dollarama' stores: 3 cans for $1.
