Bruh what the hell?

It’s not that bad. All of Sprite’s other flavors come in clear bottles, and like I said, the reasoning behind it is pretty good.

Oh yep, as I guessed, it’s the stupid, horrible, environmentalists.

:joy:

After arguing with like 4 Dutch people, this makes me even less happy, lol.

I wouldn’t call this environmentalism. Recycling and reducing waste is just a good thing regardless of where you stand on like oil consumption and stuff.

Coca-Cola said Wednesday it’s changing the packaging from green to clear plastic beginning August 1 as part of broader efforts to become more environmentally responsible. Sprite’s current plastic contains green polyethylene terephthalate (PET), an additive that can’t be recycled into new bottles, a key initiative for the company as it looks to reduce plastic waste.

“Taking colors out of bottles improves the quality of the recycled material,” Julian Ochoa, CEO of R3CYCLE, a plastic group helping Coca-Cola improve its recycling, said in a statement. “When recycled, clear PET Sprite bottles can be remade into bottles, helping drive a circular economy for plastic.”

Also, “R3CYCLE”, how original…

Lemme guess, they’re gonna demonstrate against rockets next, because of the PoLuTiOn?

Yes, and that’s a good thing.

Environmentalism isn’t the same as just reducing waste.

Also god damn, the new bottle looks so ugly. Where’d all the blue and the cool colors go…? :pleading_face:

It’s a bottle ffs.

Literally every other soda bottle is clear.

Yea but that doesn’t mean you should make everything ugly, lol.

Not really.

Adapt to changes. Honestly I don’t care if a bottle of green or white or just brown :poop:.

I can’t really adapt, lol.

But eh, I doubt they’ll change the cans, so I don’t really care that much.
