It kinda works! Question:
>What is the best beer in UK?
3rd result:
>Shit happens, but you have a job to do
>The Horse and Groom is a friendly Cotswolds country pub that has consistently won UK 'best public house' awards since 2009.
1rst result was "The introduction of the concept of dementia praecox into Spain, 1902—19" though.

But it doesn't destroy my stomach and it is actually healthy. Maybe not the tap water, though my city's water is drinkable, most of the time.
Still many people buy 19 liter bottles of water, especially in bigger cities where the water is a lil shady. Or they buy filtering systems which taste horrible but does the job. Though someone I knew couldn't get their filters changed because they didn't want to call the only service people for showing their ass cracks. I don't know why though, ass crack is a staple for many jobs, from plumbers to repair people.
Anyway, 19 liter bottles are actually heavily reused so even when you buy Coca Cola's brand of water, you may not pollute as much.

I guess it is debatable but I don't want to google the comparison between the two.
Aluminum cans will obviously be pricier but 330 ml can is 10 bucks at the cheapest and 2.5 lt bottle is 24.
I guess it will require some considering and weighting the pros and cons of drinking coke at 3x price vs destroying the environment... 5x if you include cheaper brands(starting from 15 bucks for 2.5 liters)...
It is a tough match. I can understand why people choose to complain about pollution instead while ignoring their own contribution. Unfortunately pricing is a big factor for many people.

You said that people buy plastic bottles instead of aluminum cans that exist as an alternative. At least where I live, most plastic bottle sizes don't have aluminum can alternatives.
I don't need to buy one, but I want to chug a 3 liter of soda to destroy my stomach and worsen my diabetes; while also complaining about pollution with less guilt than before.

Google shows that while it is out of stock, walmart and amazon sold them in the USA. Amazon reviews are from 2019 though. And one website named Albertsons show them in stock. Just googled "coca cola 3 liters USA" lmao.
In my country, 2.5 liter bottles are pretty common. And only plastic bottles I saw smaller than 1 liters are those crappy 125 ml bottles they try to sell to middle schoolers lol. Everything in between are either cans or sometimes glass bottles.
Except for water which coca cola is one of the big players of. So they definitely produce a shit ton of plastic water bottles of 0.25/0.33/0.50 liters. Also maybe sports drinks.
>largest can I’ve seen is a Monster around 700L
That sounds big, half liter ones looks pretry big already. I can't imagine a 1 liter can.

From many markets. Admittedly Coca Cola is usually comes in 2.5 liter bottles at most except in certain times of the year where it comes in 3 liter bottles.
Edit: So then, where can you buy 2.5 liter can of coke?

Shen you read about corporate social responsibility, it starts with fixing the issues you have and then making projects about the parts you cause the most harm.
While Coca Cola may fail to fix their own issues; funding events and organizations that work on environment is what they should do too.
I don't know why anyone is still surprised about this.

Not only that, it isn't even a metric ton (of copper)!
