Comment on The price of soda in 2017
stankcheez@lemmy.world 2 days agoRegular prices for my location in the US Midwest are around $11 for a 12-pack of Coca-Cola products — that’s twelve 12oz cans. Sales are frequently run for “buy 3 (13-packs), get 3 free”.
You can get roughly the same per-can sale price by buying flats of 35 cans from warehouse clubs like Costco every day without waiting for a sale, but the warehouse clubs don’t carry every Coca-Cola product, usually just Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite.
Pepsi products cost roughly the same.
12oz can is 355ml very close to the 33 cl or 330ml or 1/3 liter in Europe.
The price you state is almost $1 per can.
Here (Denmark) we get 1 can for $0.30 when on sale, which they almost always are now, because they’ve lost sales to local brands.
When I see people buy these at the cheap, I sometimes comment in a very soft overbearing voice: Nonono we aren’t buying American, like gently correcting a small child.
Thw italian cola in the glass bottle is unreal
Brio is an amazing soda with flavor of bitter orange and cola nut. But no one drinks more than a small bottle.
Yeah, for a very long time I refused to pay more than $3/12 pack. Now I consider it around $5-6.

So that’d be $33 for 6 12-packs roughly $5,50 per pack or like 250% of the price in the image?

In the states, $5.50 is considered a good sale now. I have seen single 12pks go for $12 not on sale.
