Oh, Clear American! You’re clearly not thinking American enough. Where’s the funnel cake and cotton candy flavored sparking water? (Spotted by @JunkFoodDog at Walmart.)
I can’t wait to add sugar to this. (Spotted by Gary A at Weis Markets.)
You know what? We haven’t seen a carrot and celery energy drink yet. Make that happen, V8? (Spotted by Sylvia at Vons.)
I don’t know if these box designs are new, but they are adorable. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

My guess is the 10 pack is new. The 8 pack is going away though to introduce us all to a 6 pack variety as well.
Wait, the 10 pack of 7.5 is $4 but there are deals all the time for 4 12 packs of the 12oz for $12/4=$3? If not then 3 for $12/3=$4, same price.
Whats going on?
Sales of smaller packages including 7.5 ounce cans and 12 ounce bottles is growing significantly. People are curbing their consumption of soda, and having a small package that is a few sips is usually enough to curb their craving.
Coca-Cola has even come out and said that they are no longer basing their success on the total volume of the beverages they sell, instead focusing more on sales and profit.
It’s too bad that the ‘Clear American’ has aspartame in it or I would definitely give it a buy.
