Fuck corporations but I don't believe this for a second. People are just making this shit up now. Some dude scribbles some prices on a piece of paper and this whole website loses its mind.

I was going to say... who the fuck was paying $1.06/can for Coke to begin with? Hell, I saw one of those 32oz Big Gulp cups selling for $4 less than a week ago.

This all just looks made up and hysterical, because Americans cannot handle not having their sugary treats.

500 mL,1 L, and 2 L of Coke all cost $3 here.

Not from the US, Coke was always around 1.05 - 1.20 USD where I lived in the early 2010s. Haven't been drinking too much of it since then so IDK. But Coke is irrationally cheap in the US apparently. Or it's just the old before/after taxes shenanigans again?

This is testable. Go to the grocery store. Buy staple goods. Keep receipt. Buy the same products the next week.

Why not post with the receipts instead of marker?
