The aluminium bottle was introduced to the North American beverage market in the fall of 2001, as an alternative to plastic bottles byCoca-Colaunder thePoweradebrand (Psych and Raize) at the National Association of Convenience Stores Show.[citation needed]
"Cooler longer" claim[edit]
A study conducted by engineering science students atLoyola College in Marylandsuggested that the liquid content of aluminium bottles stays slightly colder than the liquid content of glass bottles, when allowed to warm at room temperature.[1]These results were not corroborated by a 2005 study atBucknell University,which found that “The fluid in the aluminium bottle cools much faster than the glass bottle, and once removed from a cold source and exposed to room temperature, the glass bottle remained cooler longer than the aluminium bottle.”[2]
