Coca-Cola tries a mini-can

With a tax on sugary drinks looming and social commentators worried about the obesity problem, Coca-Cola introduces a 7.5-oz 90-calorie mini-can.

According to FoodProductionDaily.com, Coca-Cola is shrinking its cans to help fight obesity. Its 7.5-oz cans will appear first in Washington, DC, and New York, and a national rollout is planned for next year. Coca-Cola and other food and beverage giants like PepsiCo and Kellogg’s have joined together to form a coalition called the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation.
