venderone Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I am new to vending. We have the 16.9 oz plastic Coke in our machine. It's expiration date is about a month and a half after purchase. Consequently, we have had to discard a LOT of product. Does the glass bottle have more shelf life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequently, we have had to discard a LOT of product. Does the glass bottle have more shelf life? can you run cans in the machine ? they have a long expiry date ( with the exception of diet ) if your volume is that bad you are discarding tons of product you might consider moving the machine to a better loc. or stocking it less full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venderone Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks for your response. Yes, we can and do have canned drinks. However, our clients seem to want the 20 oz. bottle best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission vending Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 any carbonated beverages will have a shelf life around 2 months. Some of the off brands you might find will have a slightly longer expiration. When buying at sam`s or other warehouse always go through the inventory and look for the best dates, buy only what you need for the week so you don`t have stuff sitting in the garage getting old. If you arevstill throwing it out as mentioned try something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
