while browsing the grocery section of a local wal*mart i noticed that they recently started to stock cases of coke products that have 20 cans, yet are sold at the price point formerly occupied by the old 24-can cases. even worse is that the 24-can cases were nowhere to be found. i haven't yet seen these bastard children of the pop industry yet at other grocery or convenience stores, but i have a feeling its only a matter of time. since wally*world pretty much sets the industry standards anymore, i have a feeling that this may mark the end of 24-can cases everywhere.
lets just hope that breweries don't follow this trend... then again, the 30-pack is thriving in the beer industry - who knows, maybe by this time next year we'll be seeing $11.99 36-packs of PBR at wally.
