It looks a lot more modern that the old one, and I actually prefer it to the Coke brand (yet I prefer Coke to drink, obviously).

Edit: I also don't know how they are going to deal with the barcode.

I'd quite like to get hold of one of these 250ml aluminium bottles.
No idea if they'll ever make it to the UK though.

So did I.
How do you indicate a trade mark, anyway?
