Alumimum can packaging may be hard to repack, once you open it, you cannot close it the way it was before and you need expensive machinery to pack up any liquid drink the same way it looked before.
But in many countries, there are still bottling plants that pack soda is bottles. And if ever you get a bottle of soda, make sure you are getting the soda from the real source.

Hmmm… let me see, this looks authentically like Pepsi, ok, I’ll take that!

Clean up the Pepsi bottles, make sure no germs are in there! We don’t want our customers to get sick.

Yes, we don’t just let water run in them, we actually brush them from the inside with ISO 9000/9002 high quality Pepsi bottle brushes. We have strict quality control here, that is why we are ISO certified.

I think if I face all bottles in the same direction, it will help in our sales and marketing. Let’s get the Pepsi brand name clearly visible for the best branding effect. Good branding recall, being ubiquitous always helps in sales.

Com’on, you can work faster than that! That is not carbonated Pepsi, so it is easy to pour. Tell me when you’re done ‘coz I need that tray for my oil change.

Let’s prepare the industrial grade CO2 tanks to add in the gas. Perfect I’m ready, bring the Pepsi bottles over here!

Yes sir, here are the filled up Pepsi bottles ready for carbonation.

Perfect! Water (H2O) with dissolved Carbon Dioxide (CO2) forming Carbonic Acid (H2CO3). Making Pepsi soda is easy as 1, 2, 3. Nothing high-tech about soda making, anyone can do it in their backyard. I should make a book, Pepsi – DIY, or Making Pepsi for Dummies, or Idiots’ Guide to Pepsi Making!

Wow! This looks like a good photo even the real Pepsi guys can use for their website.

Seal the Pepsi well. Make sure those Pepsi bottle caps are on firmly. We don’t want germs getting in there for the health safety of our own Pepsi drinkers. Remeber, we are an ISO9000/9002 company.

Ok, it’s quality control time. Ok, Pepsi crate 204 Pepsi bottle 9 does not pass QC. There is a curly hair floating in there. But we used up all the bottle caps and we buy those at wholesale, and we might not reach are target market monthly quota of Pepsi that will affect our 1st quarterly sales. Well ok, this passes then, they will not notice that. But please, be more careful next time ok? Stop those scratching while filling up the bottles.

Great, just when I wanted to use the images to promote our Pepsi bottling plant in all our marketing collaterals, I cannot use the images for commercial and promotional use. Oh well, word-of-mouth advertising still works.
