I doubt there's even that much more aluminum. But by cutting the amount of liquid & creating those extra 102 million cases at $15/case, I'd say it's excellent marketing. Can't say much for the idiots who buy into it though. But that's most marketing for you. It's not giving the customer a great product, it's making them believe they've got a great product.

The article says they will be in 8 packs, not 6, so you're getting a whopping 18 extra ounces! I wonder how long they will stay in 6 packs before they drop it to 6 packs, and make all that phat beer money?
