Shameless side plug here as it’s now publicly announced. My group has worked on this for about 3 years now and it’s finally here….
PS. Coke ain’t got that

I was reading this and got to the part where they couldn’t get nitrogen in a can and thought “Guinness has been doing it for decades”
Then I read the next paragraph.
Interesting idea, as an old Guinness/Harps drinker

Stingrays are under 9 lbs
Did I say back, sorry may bad, I meant wallet. My wallet can’t handle a EBMM Stingray!

I think the Ray34’s are like 10 lbs, right? Good news if the EBMMs are lighter. I also heard the Ray4’s are lighter than the Ray34’s.

“Nitro Pepsi, first announced in 2019, is aimed at attracting drinkers who don’t like carbonated drinks.”
Mmmm - flat soda. 
Hope it works out well for your group and earns you many more Aerodynes, but I don’t imagine Coke is too worried about not having that… 
That used to be my post game recovery drink when I played field hockey. Half a pint of flat coke, half a pint of orange juice in the same glass aka ‘a muddy’ (because it looks like mud in a glass).

I really love coca-cola, but it definitely has to be fully carbonated, preferably from a tap. Even partially flat coke makes me sad. Mixed with OJ might be interesting though.
When I was little there was a family that had kept an old-school soda shop running, well into the '80s, and that place was awesome. Even if you just ordered a coke, you could get it with additional flavor, or added phosphoric acid (which was great).
All fountain soda is partially flat, lower carbonation than bottle or can.
Just can’t get the same levels on the machines.
The exception is Mt Dew which is much lower carb in bottle and can but has to ‘share’ the higher carbonation of fountain.

This is a challenge with all ‘nitro’ type things.
Guinness succeeds because that’s what Guinness is to people.
Guinness launched a Nitro IPA in the US and it tanked because it was like a flat beer, even though its gassed exactly the same as Guinness, but people already know that the stout is ‘supposed’ to be like that.
It won’t be for everyone.

Guinness has a lager, it’s called Harp. Nice and frothy. The Stout is the brown stuff. Guninness probably did a New Coke thing; it’s customers are set in their ways and didn’t want a new flat beer.
I grew up in an Irish Catholic neighborhood, and every get together had a keg of Harp and Guinness. I learned drinking with Black and Tans - half Harp, Half Stout. It’s like a religion.

Vernors is the bomb! It’s a Keurig Dr Pepper brand so one I worked on when it (and I) were Cadbury Schweppes. We had all the ginger ales. Canada Dry, schweppes, Vernors, etc.

Did a lot of hunting near Gladwin….Molassas River…so always loved driving over the Zilwaukee Bridge (NOT !!! I hate heights……to this day I will not drive over the Big Mac…I leave that to my wife.) Remember the I-75 drawbridge over the river that made a humming sound when driving over it before the Z-bridge.
Anyway, here’s to a pastie dinner washed down with a Strohs!
There is a Schweppes Grapefruit Tonic (Europe only sadly) that is amazing!
We used to order in the materials and make it for ourselves to bring home.
