How much is it now?
Regular 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 (12-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.
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.
Yeah, for a very long time I refused to pay more than $3/12 pack. Now I consider it around $5-6.
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 $0.30 when on sale, which they almost always are now, because they've lost sales to local brands.
When I see people buy these at the cheap, I sometimes comment in a very soft overbearing voice: Nonono we aren't buying American, like gently correcting a small child.
Edit PS:
The price in Denmark includes 25% sales tax.
Thw italian cola in the glass bottle is unreal
Brio is an amazing soda with flavor of bitter orange and cola nut. But no one drinks more than a small bottle.
THW?
e is right next to w
That makes it a typo, but since there are 15625 3 letter acronyms, and it's impossible to know them all, instead of being arrogant and assume anything, I asked.
soda is practically overpriced now per can/oz. even in discount stores its expensive. sparkling water is cheap though, it is the price that soda had been in the past. and many mini can 12 packs are around 7-9$
That's almost 400% increase, I would not consider that mildly infuriating. Yikes.
And how much is it in OPs picture? Is that the price per can, and how much was a can then?
No, that was price per case. If I'm not mistaken I havent see any change in can size.
I always thought the bottles of soda were priced even weirder. I remember buying a 20oz bottle for about 2 dollars, or you could buy a 1 liter bottle for about 2 dollars or you could buy a 2 liter for about 2 dollars. But to show that prices are made up and don't really matter, a 1.5 liter bottle was 1 dollar...
The cost to create more coke is essentially zero. The price to ship and stock the different sizes are about the same though.
