Stupid shape for a can too, tips over In a vehicles cup holder

...do people think the tall can is bigger? If anything, I've always assumed that they were smaller 🤷‍♂️

The great thing is you don't need it.

That's a 2.24x price increase. That's even beyond Argentina-hyperinflation levels of increase. Are we sure this is an apples-to-apples comparison? Like, was there a sale or bulk discount that made the shorter can relatively cheaper? I'm struggling to believe a retailer would engage in such a brazen markup in a single week. (Not to say it's not possible, but it's extreme enough that I'm not taking the word of some random hand-written graphic on the Internet.)

Several years ago mountain dew had the following prices

20 oz - $2

1 liter - $2

2 liter - $2

1.5 liter - $1

It wasn't a sale, they had these prices on several stores for over a year.

Always purchase by volume/weight, not container

Fuck corporations but I don't believe this for a second. People are just making this shit up now. Some dude scribbles some prices on a piece of paper and this whole website loses its mind.

if you're buying coke in america, you should get the 12 packs at grocery stores instead. it's anywhere between $5.99 to $8.99, which is less than a dollar per can

I saw one of those thin cans the other day and thought, "that's a weird can shape, I don't know why someone would buy that."

Now it makes sense.

Edit: Also, I forgot about this- https://moneynotmoney.com/historical-price-of-coca-cola-in-united-states/

Drinking a Coke in 5 years:

Maybe you want to have a cup of tea instead? Way more cheap and healthy. Or buy some off-brand soda. It is just as much garbage as coca cola but at least it's cheap.

Soda is such a fucking profitable scam because it's mostly water and that resource is mostly free. The syrup and carbonation should be pennies compared to what it actually sells for.

Reason 500,000 to not buy any Coca Cola corp products

As long as I stay mad at "those damn libs" then companies can raise prices with impunity. If nobody boycotts these innocent companies then stock prices will be able to surge.

Honestly though, I wish people understood that by blaming only inflation they're effectively giving companies a blank check to keep raising prices. Sigh.

Y'all, remember this is sugar water and even at $1.06 there's a significant profit margin.

It's usually very small, but here, prices must also show how much 100g/100ml of something costs

They “proved” the trick works by a couple years back, releasing some different flavors in that shape can. Too many of us paid the premium to get the different flavor, even knowing it’s just manufactured scarcity. I still miss the blueberry-acai Diet Coke. Maybe they came away with “weirdly shaped cans sell at bigger profit”

If it's tall and slim, it worth more. This is true for both cans and people.
