But the last half-inch is where all the excess sugar and chemicals have settled! Lord knows you can't shake the stuff up to mix it back together! *BOOM*

I hate that the soft drink companies went to plastic bottles. To me, all the drinks taste different (probably from the acids eroding the plastic, even though they swear that doesn't happen). Plus, the drinks don't stay as cold as the old school glass-and-styrofoam-cover versions. Broken bottles in barfights aside, I wish they hadn't switched them.

By the way, does anyone remember when Coke introduced the new hourglass plastic bottles and mailed out empty ones to advertise? Somehow, I got on the mailing list from some sweepstakes or something I'd entered, and I ended up getting six or seven of them in the mail over the course of 3 weeks. What the hell did they think we were going to do with empty plastic Coke bottles?
