Three months ago, Coke told bottlers that it would soon put a 100th anniversary label on its packages and that they should begin clearing out stocks of preanniversary bottles. This aroused the suspicion of Jesse Meyers, a Greenwich, Conn., industry follower who puts out a newsletter called Beverage Digest.
