Vending Pop. What size bottles?

[sparkey]

I have a pop machine at the carwash that I sell 12oz cans out of for .50 that does very well in sales. I recently purchased another pop machine that I want to vend bottles from. The catch with bottles is that pepsi don't sell 20oz bottles to the local grocery store. They want you to come to them so they can charge you way more than the stores would. So my choices of reasonably priced pop are to sell 16.9oz bottles for $1 or sell 24oz bottles for $1.25. Which would be the best way to go? The profit margin is about .50 a bottle either way I go.

I never had any luck with bottles the profit margin wasnt there for me I vend cans for .75 and do well at that, but I f I was doing bottles I would go with the 24oz for 1.25 ,

I vend both can and 16.9 oz in my Outsider. I charge .65 for the can and $1 for the 16.9 oz bottles and 1.50 for the gatorade.

I never had much luck with bottles also. Cans i sell at$1 at a pretty high rate.
Water and lemonades do better in summer. I personally would pick the smaller bottles, as they don't ever finish the larger bottles and they screw the cap on loosely to drain in the garbage or on the ground.

I could stock my machine with nothing but Mountain Dew for $1/12oz can and sell alot, I am certain. Mountain Dew is the "Black Ice" of sodas for me.

I think the $1 price point is fine w/customers for a 12 oz can, as long as it is 'name brand' pop and not Sams club or generic.
