These became too expensive in my country too. Only buy it occasionally now once in 3 months. Prob they’re doing a favor to my health :)
I paid 8 Euros for 1L of Coke in Germany 15 years ago. To be fair that was at Oktoberfest… I think the beer was the same price.
I agree though, too expensive for day to day consumption.

Good. This liquid sugar shouldn’t be part of anyone’s day to day consumption. Occasional treat? Sure! But no more than that.
Your not paying for the contents anymore. It’s shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO’s expenses your paying for.
No. You’re paying for the rent if the probable airport kiosk this photo was taken in.
Let them go bankrupt
Also insanely unhealthy to consume stuff like this on a day-to-day basis
But it says “low in calories”! 🙄
Of course it is. You’re not going to consume all 15 servings in that bottle at once I hope!
I’ve cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They’ll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they’ll settle there… for awhile.
I buy no-name colas - store brands and such. It’s pennies per gallon and I honestly can’t tell the difference between them and Coke / Pepsi. If there is a difference, at the second gulp, I’m already used to the new thing enough to have forgotten. I don’t think I’ve bought the real thing in 25 years.
90% of the price is the brand name.
I can steep tea at home for pennies what the Southern fried fuck
New strategy to refrain consumers from buying soft drinks? Perhaps high taxation behind it, like special purpose taxes?
I remember this happened in my country; to cull high sugar and sweetners content, the industry threw a fit, the authorities didn’t care, life moved forward and sugar content in soft drinks dropped (but not the prices).
Lipton was always much more expensive than other brands, as well.
I smoke weed like a chimney and occasionally binge on sugary stuff.
It’s the sugar that fucks me up. I kick ass at work when I haven’t eaten any sugar. Then I go get a bunch of donuts, and I’m fucked for a few days.
The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?
Nah, it’s all for the Rich People Yatch Money.
Water is the best

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml
Is it me, or are those only about half full? I can’t tell if the label is transparent or opaque. 😳
It’s 2.90 in Tesco or SuperValu op, that’s centra screwing you over. 2.90 is still a lot for a 1.25l from the supermarket tho.
Alternatively, you can walk to the coca cola shelf, pick up a 250 ml glass bottle and pay about 6.3 €/l. You know, there are really expensive specialty coffee beans that produce a drinkable liquid that costs less than that.
checked the math, fresh small roaster beans cost about 60€/kg these days, with 1 1.25dl cup taking about 7g of beans the cost of that coffee would be about 3.5€/l
Yep. That’s about the usual price range I was thinking of. However, you can easily go over that with Jamaica Blue mountain (190 €/kg) and a high dose (70 g/l). The price of that liquid would be about 15 €/l, which is incidentally in the wine territory.
Will they ever stop doing their stupid 4.95 or 4.99 as if people don’t understand it’s like 5 euro …
It’s scientifically proven that it’s works. So, never.
People will fall for this. Everyone reads its like 4 and even if you know it you can be mislead
