Ok, so why the fuck did they add a grip? Sorry I'm being so blunt, but seriously... why? Could people not hold the other bottle? Was this just an excuse to bring out another size Coke?
Ok so lets see what size cokes you can get now.
200ml Mini Can - I've seen these at the supermarket but can't seem to find a pic
250ml Glass Bottle - They usually serve these in cafes and some restaurants and charge you a fortune, I always feel ripped of when these are served.
375ml Can - We all know what these look like, pretty much the standard
390ml Bottles - Seem to be the choice when you can't drink a whole 375ml can in one go and want the convenience of a bottle.
450ml WITH GRIP - Ok so these are just fucking stupid. This is marketing trickery at it's best. As far as I know these weren't advertised at all and almost look like a 600ml coke. So pretty much, festivals and stores are selling these at the the same price a 600ml would usually cost, the consumer is thinking that they are getting the 600ml, only to be horribly dissapointed. I have no idea why they needed to bring out yet another bottle with only an extra 60ml of coke, apart from ripping people off.
600ml - My personal favourite, even if I can't finish it sometimes. They have added a grip to these bad boys now as well, so now when you're running from the law and need refreshment, you no longer have to worry about the coke slipping out of your hand because THERE ARE TINY BUMPS WHICH THEY CALL A GRIP TO STOP IT FROM SLIPPING OUT OF YOUR HAND BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE CAN'T HOLD A BOTTLE ANYMORE.
Obviously there are the 1.25L, 1.5L (share pack) and 2L varieties as well, but I wanted to focus on the smaller varities at the moment. I wonder if the larger varieties will get the GRIP?
Coke should bring back the Cherry instead of adding useless grips to bottles.

Its just a way ( just incase the consumers have had a wandering eye) to draw the attention back to coke. Its like any apple products. Before its even shown up on your credit card statement theres already a newer and better version out.
Id totally buy coke if it could give you some insane amount of euphoria - COKE! now with insane euphoria*
* may contain carcinogenic and highly addictive mind- altering substances such as morphine, heroin, and amphetamines. May also contain traces of nuts. The euphoric kind.
Next they will make coke bottles which you can access your facebook account with. You can drink coke, update your facebook status AND all without the fear of losing your grip.
I love that you brought apple, that is a favourite of mine. The iPhone for example, they added one feature at a time when they brought out a new model. The first iPhone that didn't even make it to Aus didn't even have 3G.... oh and the 2nd gen is Aus, finally has video recording... too bad if you're an early adopter of technology, the true fans appear to miss out!
I say bring back the old coke - Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass! I feel coke is probably already carcinogenic and highly addictive, all we need now is the mind altering substances, the kind that you give to army recruits to make them fear less!
When the day comes where you can access your FB from a coke, I will end the world
nothing says refreshing like a nice glass of cocaine-laced bevarage!
yeah, the day facefuck is accessible through food, Im going to drink myself into cocainic oblivion to drown out the attention-seeking, voluntary destruction of privacy that is facebook.
At least the grip will help when im trying to drink more coke to overdose whilst having flashbacks, hallucinating, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
I will drink to this
