How did you even find a 20 pack of Coke? All I can find are 10, 12, and 24 packs.
Comment on The price of soda in 2017

This is a 2017 ad for a sale price, 20 cans, $4.99.
This is the first 20 can pack I found. Might cost a little more than regular coke because sugar free, but it costs a shitload more than the 2017 price.

20 was a fairly common size at Walmart and some grocery stores, it was usually cheaper and there was only a few types.

Name brand cola is no longer purchased in my household. I try to just not buy it period, but when I do, Sam’s cola is the drink of choice. Coke prices themselves out of my refrigerator. Even though I do think it is a superior product, no way in hell am I paying what they want me to.

Genuine question from European: do you consider $1 per can outrageous?!
20 cans for $5 is absurdly cheap for me

Americans replace water with sodas. People literally avoid drinking water.

For a 12 oz/300ml? Yeah, that gets into crazy territory.
But we’re in crazy land right now. My local Walmart? 8.50 for a 12 pack. 70 cents a can, so not full loony. But a far cry from this picture a decade ago with under 20 cents a can.

That’s crazy lol, no wonder diabetes is so wide spread

Part of that is the power of government subsidized high fructose corn syrup, yeah. It’s in a lot of American food and makes a huge difference in pricing healthy vs highly processed foods.

Awful food quality, too much of it, along with lack of exercise.

That’s fucking crazy. I think my 18 pack of Celsius is cheaper than that (per can) by quite a bit. I haven’t bought soda in a while but I always remember it being under $5 for a case. It’s mostly water.

12 pack at the Smiths here is 11.99. WinCo is 8.98. no clue what Walmart is because I rarely shop there. The sale at Smith’s is buy 2 get 1 free. So makes it 7.99 a 12 pack.

That is from Walmart. No idea why the price is so high.

When you look at the Walmart app, after you search for something you need to pick either the “in-store” option or double check the seller. Walmart runs an online marketplace where you can get things from sellers other than Walmart. That’s why the soda is so expensive.

That would be an online delivery not from Walmart in their app I would imagine. Unless it’s in line yuan or something.
