Slim Cans, Fat Prices? Coca-Cola Charges More for Popular Skinny Cans Despite Same Volume

Coca-Cola executives mentioned "inflation" 36 times in recent earnings call, indicating rising costs a key concern
Slim cans gaining popularity as easier for manufacturers to transport more product, not to trick consumers
Price hikes may unintentionally curb soda consumption like a "soda tax" rather than boost revenue
Consumers complain but keep buying, so price hikes unlikely to drive changes in buyer behavior
