No more buy one drink and spread it around to a family of five.

I think the "Changing consumer habit" is thievery.

This is code for Coke has jacked up the price of coke and 20 an hour labor is cutting into profits, so we must make things more cost effective for our shareholders and so our CEO can fly on a private jet to the Caribbean for a six week summer vacation.

I was wondering that, too.
Must be a lot of long term contracts they don't want to get out of.
