So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.

Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves...

[–] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.

Your not paying for the contents anymore. It's shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO's expenses your paying for.

I've cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They'll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they'll settle there... for awhile.

Just so you know - Carrefour is one of the biggest retailers in Europe, they're French, and have said a giant "Va te faire foutre" to PepsiCo this week -

Water is the best

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml

Good! That means less people drinking sugar!

I've seen cheaper drinks at ski field cafes... It makes sense for them to be pricey there, since they have to bring it up a mountain, but what's this places excuse...?

Gom Syrup 50/50 mix sugar (caster is easiest) or honey (don't hate me France) & boiling water Black tea 2 grams per 8oz water at 70c increase tea a little more if adding ice right away Fruit juice or purée to taste or go Eurobeat and not bother

Put in a reusable container, stop supporting nonsense things you can do yourself

Please tell me that was at the airport

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

That was my thought. I spent the last 48 hours in various airports, and this briefly looked normal to me.

Is it me, or are those only about half full? I can't tell if the label is transparent or opaque. 😳

On a trip in Nola and took the kids for a treat at the Cheesecake Factory. 3 sodas and an iced tea was $21. Won't be back for that reason alone. We are being fleeced.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?

Is that a hospital vending machine? I spent £15 once and got 2 packs of crisps, chocolate bar and drink.

Will they ever stop doing their stupid 4.95 or 4.99 as if people don't understand it's like 5 euro ...

[–] cordlesslamp 31 points 2 years ago

It's scientifically proven that it's works. So, never.

[–] adrian783@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

no, it works. so they'll do it forever.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

People will fall for this. Everyone reads its like 4 and even if you know it you can be mislead

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

1.25L for €4.95? Wow... $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!

Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Looks like the price says 1.25L. Even in the US, that’s more than one drink

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

2L soda used to be .99. Just don't buy it. These fuckers need to suffer or go out of business.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Yes, but at roughly $5 USD per liter, it's still a rip off.

Make your own. Only takes a minute and once you find the right formula, will taste much better than this garbage.

I don't understand this comment. Brisk is Lipton.
