Actually, for those of you who drink lotsa caffine in the form of Coke
(or
Pepsi?) and Dew... cans of Dew are somewhat "squatter" than most other
sodas, so the case boxes have slightly larger dimensions than those of
other cans of soda.  (Coke was the example I saw a couple years ago,
though.)  So a container from a case of Coke will fit nicely inside a
container from a case of Dew... just attach foam to the top & bottom (or
don't even attach it!) and presto! instant case.

(At any rate, the above was true as of a couple years ago; one guy I
knew
had over a dozen of these carrying cases... I'm not sure if he actually
drank that much soda, or just raided some supermarket for the boxes....)
