I would think Sodastream has had some serious impact on soda makers sales.
SodaStream?? You’ve got to be kidding me?!?
Annnual US soda sales for 2013 represent more than 1.7 TRILLION fluid ounces, which would equate to over 25 BILLION of those 2 liter bottles. SodaStream’s total US sales? $40 million.
No. Soda sales are down because consumers are shifting toward other “soft” drinks: energy drinks, sports drinks, bottled tea, bottled water. Don’t worry for the big soda companies though… they pretty much own them too.
B”H Coca Cola still makes KforP coke
misprint above… $40 million should be $400 million
