" It’s more economical compared to small cans… especially if buying for a bunch of people…and small cans people drank half or quarter, in a group you don’t know whose can is which. Can happen with glasses, but people more careful with their own glass."

"I usually buy it for parties if lots of people are consuming it. Less plastic to get one bottle rather than a case… so environmentally friendlier. "

-Adam Bassally

"In 2L I only buy the ones I know will get finished. Coke or Cream Soda wouldn’t get finished in my household…"

so that’s why only get it for parties because don’t consume it enough.”
