mini cooper, mini van, mini me...

If soda is the new tobacco, is the Coke mini can the new light cigarette?

The can, which will debut in December, holds 7.5 ounces of liquid, less than two-thirds of a 12-ounce container. Instead of the usual "Coca-Cola" script, it's stamped with the loud promise, "90 calories per can."

"The Coca-Cola mini can innovation reinforces the Company's support for healthy, active lifestyles," says the president of Coca-Cola North America in a press release. The president of Sparkling Beverages, Coca-Cola North America, chimes in: "Our new sleek mini can supports the idea of moderation and offers people yet another way to enjoy their favorite Coca-Cola beverage." The company's chief scientific officer adds that "this 90-calorie mini can is another way for people who love Coca-Cola to get the taste they enjoy while managing their calories."
