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

First they came for cigarettes and I did not speak out
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.
Same here. This is the way to enlightenment for all.
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.
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:
And then dicks like Kroger raise the price when they put it on sale so it looks like it's a better deal.
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.
And also profits at all cost.
And thus, with a simple regression model, we can conclude that... ☝🤓
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.
Fatboi hasn't been available here for years
Meanwhile, I can get a cold 16oz RC cola at the dollar store.
But the one on the right is actually full. Surely that's worth the extra money
Palestine Cola is better.
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...
It doesn't taste as good
