Of course, saving 1 cent per bottle likely earns the companies millions of dollars in extra profit per year.
companies should at least give consumers the choice though, which is why this retro is a good thing. Pepsi Throwback has obviously been quite successful, so it's in their best interest to keep putting it out. and hopefully Coke follows suit to keep up. if Coke released a retro real sugar formula and released it in 6 or 12 pack bottles, then made them twice the price of a regular 12 pack, i'd still buy it. hell beer would still cost more
