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.
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.
That isnt a drink, its flavoured sugar water with some nasty chemicals hidden in there
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.
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.
Also generic sodas have better flavors. There’s pineapple soda at King Soopers. Amazing mixer for drinks
Yep, I agree. I stopped buying fancy coffee drinks for the same reason
At that point just make it yourself
I pity the fool buy that pricey ass tea
It's like a dollar here in Brazil.
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 :)
Don't go into a Starbucks.
For many reasons, but you certainly won't like the pricing there either.
This wasn't Starbucks. This was in a Centra
They knew it wasn't a Starbucks. The comment was meant more as "if you think that's bad, don't go into Starbucks" At least that's how I read it.
