Just stop drinking that shit, it is so bad for you.

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I get all groceries, fast food, drinks, snacks, etc. are becoming more expensive across the board but I'm 100% with you. It's like people bitching about the price of cigarettes. If the crap that's bad for you is becoming too expensive maybe it's a win-win and time to quit while saving money.

Cigarette smokers know they're bad. It's an addiction.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

There is some denial there. Especially about second hand smoke.

First they came for cigarettes and I did not speak out

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

I get all groceries

Sounds EXTREMELY wasteful tbh. Should probably start being much more selective..

I used to eat 2-4 full bags of chips every week, but kow that they're over 5 dollars a pop I've cut them out completely.

I'm absolutely certain the markup on these chips is almost the full price. They can't cost more than a few cents to make at scale.

Good advice. I was very addicted to soda when I was a younger teenager and grew out of it and replaced it with unsweetened coffee and tea.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Same here. This is the way to enlightenment for all.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

I really need to take this advice. Quit drinking fizzy drinks years ago, now I go the chippy with work on a Friday…I think it’s time to start stocking up on dilute.

[–] Kimmy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yup, I used to drink soda all the time. Now it's like maybe once every 6 months. Feel better just from quitting

The target audience:

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

And then dicks like Kroger raise the price when they put it on sale so it looks like it's a better deal.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I bet they changed the form factor as a business move to make the fridges less compatible with other soda, since they are already the de facto leader.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

And also profits at all cost.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Red Bull are that size, just shorter

DRM is just taking longer than expected

And thus, with a simple regression model, we can conclude that... ☝🤓

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Your convenience store isn't offering them 2 for 3??? Gotta buy 2!

Small can still exist, just in 12 packs. It's still a messed up tactic.

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 months ago

Fatboi hasn't been available here for years

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Meanwhile, I can get a cold 16oz RC cola at the dollar store.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago

But the one on the right is actually full. Surely that's worth the extra money

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Palestine Cola is better.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The cans were changed cause the skinny cans cost less in materials to manufacture. It's all in the smaller diameter lids which are the thickest part of the can.

The price would have gone up regardless...

[–] Michal@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

It doesn't taste as good
