family-size Coke bottles

This small 6-pack plastic carrying thing sits unused in my garage. I’m showing it here because it represents an idea. The idea that the Coca-Cola company believes that their product should be bought as a staple in your home. Just like milk, you should purchase quantities of it along with your other groceries. And before there were 2-litre bottles, there were smaller glass bottles. This plastic tote helped you carry 6 bottles home from the store. How do you feel about that? Should soda-pop be something you keep on hand in your home, or is it a treat you buy when you’re away from home?
Obviously these carriers (and largely the glass bottles) have been replaced by plastic bottles and cans. And a case of 12 or 24 cans is a lot easier to take home from the store than 6 glass bottles. I remember before the 2-litre bottle we had huge glass bottles. Does anyone else remember these? Wasn’t there some controversy about these bottles because there were extremely prone to exploding if dropped?
