American National Can (Chicago, IL) developed the exclusive shaping technology jointly with Oberburg Eng. of Switzerland. "We want to see how the contour can actually works in the marketplace," says Coca-Cola USA president Jack Stahl.

It will be followed by eight- and 18-packs, says Coke spokesperson Carol Martel.
