Coca-Cola is redesigning the cans and bottles for its different soda varieties and eliminating the most obvious differences between them in an effort to create a more unified brand, the company said Monday.

The new cans will begin to be available in Mexico in May and will launch elsewhere later this year and in 2017, according to Coca-Cola.
