I love peach Peace Tea but this is like the Powerade thing all over again.
Either a grocery store order went wrong or Coca-Cola strikes again

The volume of the cans are different and the price was $1.25 for the tall one. The shorter one is $1.09.
The calorie thing is another odd one because the tall one says 75g of sugar but the short says 34g.
I know they make different volumes for this so I was thinking it could be a local store order mistake.
The Powerade thing I mention is that they did the same thing 10 years ago (correct me if I’m wrong) where Powerade was 32 oz and changed them to 16 oz but kept them same price.

473ml has been a standard size for a long time. That’s not shrinkflation, that’s two different sizes.
That said, fuck Coke
FearTheNoFear@lemmy.world 1 month ago
At first I thought it was just a different size but I think it’s more shrinkflation. If the gas station changes theirs to this size then it definitely is.
I’m pretty close to saying fuck Coca-cola as well.

Is there no label on the back stating how many kcal are there per 100ml or something?
pennomi@lemmy.world 1 month ago
In the US it’s by serving size, which is a non-consistent unit of measurement. They are supposed to say how many mL one serving is, however. But that leaves you to do all the math yourself.

My European mind simply cannot comprehend that people accept this shit.

The ingredients lists are different between the cans.

Worse thing? They changed the formula and they taste like shit now.

I was about to say look at the difference in calories per ounce.

What the fuck are you doing? Stop buying this shit.

I don’t know what I was thinking! I’m allergic to peaches so this was a good tasting alternative since it’s zero % juice.
