So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.

Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.
What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?
My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves...
The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.

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.
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.

Just so you know - Carrefour is one of the biggest retailers in Europe, they're French, and have said a giant "Va te faire foutre" to PepsiCo this week -
Fair play to them, that's great stuff.
Wow, didn't know that. Bonne nouvelle !

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

Good! That means less people drinking sugar!
I've seen cheaper drinks at ski field cafes... It makes sense for them to be pricey there, since they have to bring it up a mountain, but what's this places excuse...?
Inner city monopoly
Gom Syrup 50/50 mix sugar (caster is easiest) or honey (don't hate me France) & boiling water Black tea 2 grams per 8oz water at 70c increase tea a little more if adding ice right away Fruit juice or purée to taste or go Eurobeat and not bother
Put in a reusable container, stop supporting nonsense things you can do yourself

Was this picture taken in Ireland OP?
Please tell me that was at the airport
That was my thought. I spent the last 48 hours in various airports, and this briefly looked normal to me.
Is it me, or are those only about half full? I can't tell if the label is transparent or opaque. 😳
Looks more half empty to me

On a trip in Nola and took the kids for a treat at the Cheesecake Factory. 3 sodas and an iced tea was $21. Won't be back for that reason alone. We are being fleeced.
The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?
Is that a hospital vending machine? I spent £15 once and got 2 packs of crisps, chocolate bar and drink.
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.
no, it works. so they'll do it forever.
People will fall for this. Everyone reads its like 4 and even if you know it you can be mislead
1.25L for €4.95? Wow... $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!
Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.
Eww. The only thing worse than bottled Lipton is Brisk.
I don't understand this comment. Brisk is Lipton.
Looks like the price says 1.25L. Even in the US, that’s more than one drink
2L soda used to be .99. Just don't buy it. These fuckers need to suffer or go out of business.

Make your own. Only takes a minute and once you find the right formula, will taste much better than this garbage.

That's painfully expensive for just 500ml, ouch!
Edit: just noticed that looks like just over 1L, still really expensive though...

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.
