Coke not very smart

I mean, if they want to make money off this, then have a can printed Alabama National Champs that was in pre-production on the assumption that they would win (pretty much done all the time with hats, T-shirts, etc). And then have it stamped out with Clemson's logo over it, and release a limited edition Sort of like "Dewey Wins" win they called the presidential election wrong back in the 30's.

Sorry Coke bottle. Doesn't even mention Alabama. Just gives the score - not who beat.

Not in favor of anything of that nature. Those kinds of things have a way of coming back to bite you.

I was born in 1929 and I remember the headline well. Oops, thought I might have been child protege but that election was won by Truman in 1948. Better brush up on your history.

is most of the survey was done by phone and back then most of the phone owners were higher income folks who tended to vote republican. not sure if this is accurate but it does seem plausible

At the true set price around $5 per six pack it has been said that Coke isn't making hardly anything on the 6 pack bottles. If anything at all. Hence, why there is zero talks of a second run, like they did with the cans.

Coke Economics The Math
Aug 31, 2017, 10:53 AM

ACL Bottles Decorated $0.19 each
Carrier $0.25/6 pack or $0.041 each
Coke Product $0.02/ bottle
Transport about $0.01/bottle
Manf and corp expense $0.02/bottle
So Coke all in has cost including labor and corp expense of $1.70 / 6 pack. Coke will generally put a 30-40% mark up, their distributor a 25% mark up and the retailer a 40% mark up for limited time item. This would yield a $4-4.50 expected price. Add gouging and you hit $5 easy.

Agreed, coke is not smart. That's why they're generally viewed as a failure in the business world.......#dumb
