I just found ONE can of Coke that had NO carbonation in it, out of a 12 pack box. Can looked normal and the rest of the Cokes were fine. I noticed no damage to the can, other than it being light in weight.

Default Mushy soda bottles

Mushy soda bottles indicate the contents have lost carbonation. In other words, it’s flat. It could be a number of issues like a misfit cap or hiccup during the filling process.
I am certain Walmart will accept a return or exchange and they will address it with PepsiCo.

How can I restore the shape of a deflated soda plastic bottle without breaking or opening the twist cap? - Lifehacks Stack Exchange

Found this, but I still don’t trust it.
Time to switch to Coke, my friend. Whenever I need to quench my thirst, I turn to an ice cold Coca Cola!! Much better than flat Pepsi!

Cap was tight and sealed. I suspect it was processing problem. No big deal one out of pack, but it’s recurring? So far I gotten 3 out of two packs of 12? I will be looking close from now on when I select Pepsi bottled.

I like soda fountain coke not some much in can or bottle, seems more slurpy or sweeter? I can’t drink Dr. Pepper anymore ever since changed formula? I liked 10 2 4 formula. I don’t like any in big bottles like 72 Oz, it always goes flat before I drink it. I only drink 1 bottle day if that, my wife goes through rest pretty quick

Disagree! Company management actually appreciates the off site Quality Control offered by consumers. Too many employees have that “it’s just a job” or “not my job” attitude about work. In other words a poor work ethic. I wrote to a company about poor engineering of a product and they wrote back to thank me. No “coupon” was necessary. I believe that might also be part of the m a g a message. Be proud of your workmanship

Just 1 a day? What do you mix your rum with?

Why would you wish to dilute good rum?

As for your Pepsi situation, no I haven't experienced it. I also buy those at Walmart every couple of weeks. $6.98 for 12 bottles of Pepsi is a great deal and hubby loves his Pepsi. But if you do experience it, find the receipt, and just bring in the bottle. They'll probably let you take a cold one from their fridge in exchange.

You can also write to Pepsi to complain, and they might even send you a coupon good for a whole case to apologize. Some companies do that.
Seems like a lot of work for a bottle of Pepsi

if you notice it only after it cooled in the refrigerator than the can was short on soda. the cold collapses the can when the soda shrinks.

I take it it didn’t pop and fess when you open it?
