The regular-sized 12 pack of Specific Cola Product fits in my fridge. The 12 pack of Specific Cola Product that's "specially designed to fit in your fridge!" doesn't.
I'm getting so sick of the commercials for everything "specially designed for your fridge". Doesn't that depend on your fridge and how you've organized the things IN your fridge? "Specially designed for your fridge unless you're about to start a new bottle of ketchup and therefore have, temporarily, two giant bottles of Heinz taking up, respectively, the top shelf's height and the middle shelf's depth." "Specially designed for your fridge unless you've just baked four lemon meringue pies and need the entire middle shelf to chill them." "Specially designed for your fridge unless you're having company for the week in which case the only thing there's room for are the six different kinds of milk everyone apparently HAS to have or they will die."
Whatever - what kind of person can't manage to take the cans out of the case and arrange them in whatever formation they damn well choose?
I don't take the cans out of the case because the cube-like shape they take on when in the case is infinitely preferable to the scattershot arrangement one needs to use if the cans are to be stored separately -- two next to the milk, one behind the ketchup bottle, a few more lining the rack, one hiding in the butter compartment (sideways)...
Volume displacement when dealing with one large cube-like thing is easier to handle than the volume displacement when dealing with twelve little metal-like thingies.
