Coke 16.9 bottles no longer at Sam's

[gogo]

My local Sam's stores have stopped carrying 16.9 oz Coke products. At first I thought it might just be a glitch in the system ... supply problem or something. I asked the manager at one of the stores what was going on and he said Coke will no longer sell them 16.9s, just 12oz or 20 oz (at ridiculous prices).

I only have 16.9s in a few machines, but now I have to scan the local supermarket flyers for good deals, because they are the only ones who carry them. I am a third party vendor with Coke, and their prices on 16.9s are so high that it makes no sense to order from them.

Has anyone else come across this?

If this has been addressed in a previous thread, I apologize ... couldn't find it anywhere.

Same thing has happened a couple of times down here in San Antonio. That's why I have stuck with 20oz.
