ʻEā, ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o kāu mea inu.

Ke hilinaʻi nei nā mea inu mea inu i ke ʻano o ka ʻeke a me ka hoʻolālā e huki ai i nā mea kūʻai. I kēia manawa ke manaʻo nei lākou i nā kini alumini wiwi hou e hōʻailona maʻalahi i nā mea kūʻai aku ʻoi aku ka olakino o kā lākou mau mea inu hou ma mua o ka pia a me ka sodas i nā kini pōkole pōkole o ka wā kahiko.

Ua hoʻolaha hou ʻo Topo Chico, Simply a me SunnyD i nā mea inu ʻawaʻawa a me ka cocktails i loko o nā kini kiʻekiʻe a lahilahi, aʻo ka lā mua, ʻo Celsius a me Starbucks i hoʻomaka i ka wai ʻālohilohi a me nā mea inu ikaika i loko o nā kini slim hou. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Coke me ka Coffee i kahi mana slim i ka makahiki i hala.

Me he mea lā e wehewehe ana i ke kanaka, ʻo Ball, kekahi o nā mea hana nui o nā kini alumini, e hōʻike ana i ka "ʻoi aku ka pōkole a me ka ʻili o ke kino" o kāna 12 oz. hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me kāna ʻano maʻamau (ʻo ia hoʻi 12 oz.) stouter version.

Ke manaʻo nei nā mea hana inu e hoʻokaʻawale i kā lākou mau huahana ma nā papa piha a mālama i ke kālā ma ka hoʻouna ʻana a me ka hoʻopili ʻana me nā kini ʻili, wahi a nā mea loiloi a me nā mea hana inu.

ʻIke ka poʻe kūʻai aku i nā kini liʻiliʻi he ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o lākou.

Nā kini alumini
Ua ʻike ʻia nā mea inu ʻoluʻolu i loko o nā kini i ka makahiki 1938, akā ua hoʻohana ʻia ka mea inu alumini mua no ka cola ʻai i kapa ʻia ʻo "Slenderella" i ka makahiki 1963, e like me ka Can Manufacturers Institute, kahi hui kālepa. I ka makahiki 1967, ua hahai ʻo Pepsi lāua ʻo Coke.

ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ua koho nā hui inu i ka 12 oz. kŘkohu squat e hiki ai i ke keʻena hou aku e hoʻolaha i nā mea o kā lākou mea inu ma ke kino o ke kini me nā kikoʻī waihoʻoluʻu a me nā logo.

Ua pani ʻia nā ʻoihana no ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona hiki ke ʻili. I ka makahiki 2011, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Pepsi i kahi mana "kiʻekiʻe, sassier" o kāna kī kuʻuna. ʻO ke kini, i hōʻike ʻia ma New York's Fashion Week, ua loaʻa iā ia ka tagline: "The New Skinny." Ua hoʻohewa nui ʻia ʻo ia he mea ʻino a ʻōlelo ka National Eating Disorders Association i nā ʻōlelo a ka hui he "noʻonoʻo ʻole a me ke kuleana ʻole."

No laila, no ke aha e hoʻihoʻi mai ai iā lākou i kēia manawa? ʻO kahi hapa no ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o nā kini liʻiliʻi he premium a he mea hou. Ke hoʻonui nei ka nui o nā mea inu i nā mea kūʻai olakino, a ʻo nā kini lohi e hōʻailona i kēia mau ʻano.

Ke kope nei nā ʻoihana i ka kūleʻa o nā kini liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO Red Bull kekahi o nā hōʻailona mua i hoʻolaha i nā kini slim, a ua ʻike ʻo White Claw i ka kūleʻa me kāna seltzer paʻakikī i nā kini keʻokeʻo lahilahi.

ʻO nā kini alumini, me ka nānā ʻole i ka nui, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni ma mua o nā plastics, wahi a Judith Enck, he luna hoʻomalu kūloko o ka Environmental Protection Agency a me ka pelekikena o Beyond Plastics i kēia manawa. Hiki ke hana ʻia mai nā mea hana hou a hiki ke maʻalahi ke hana hou ʻia. Inā littered, ʻaʻole lākou e like me ka plastics, wahi āna.

Aia kekahi mea hoʻoikaika pāʻoihana no nā hoʻolālā ʻili.

Hiki i nā hōʻailona ke paʻi hou aku i 12 oz. nā kini ʻili ma nā papa hale kūʻai, nā pā hale kūʻai a me nā kaʻa ma mua o nā kini ʻoi aku ka nui, wahi a Dave Fedewa, he hoa hana ma McKinsey e kūkākūkā ana no nā hui kūʻai a me nā mea kūʻai. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ke kūʻai aku a me ka mālama kālā.

Akā ʻo ke kī, ʻōlelo ʻo Fedewa, ʻo nā kini wīwī e hopu i ka maka: "He ʻakaʻaka ka nui o ka ulu ʻana e hiki ke hoʻokele i nā hale kūʻai."
