15 Years ago, a 20oz bottle of soda was a $1 and 12oz cans were 50¢. The decade before that 12oz cans floated between 25-35¢.
So 15 years ago, the 23oz can was still a good value compared to the 20oz bottle of coke.

Your question is framed wrong, it should be how have coke bottlers been able to keep the price so high. After transportation costs, the bottle, cap, and label are the most expensive parts of the thing (the can in Arizona's case). The liquid inside is stupid cheap.
