Diet Cherry Coke Returns

Post by Alpha8472 »

Diet Cherry Coke disappeared for a while due to the aluminum can shortage. Now it is returning. Many diet soda flavors were discontinued due to the cans being used for more popular sodas.

I have noticed that many things that used to be made of metal are now made with other materials. Shovels are now fiberglass or plastic. Rakes are made of plastic now. Paint cans are plastic. They used to be metal.

Is there still a metal shortage?

During the supposed can shortage, the variety of seltzer flavors seemed to explode.

Nope, cans.

Actually seeing less seltzer in plastic bottles now than in the past. The stuff seemed to always go flat too quickly in plastic.
