re: Has anyone noticed the prices of carbonated drinks lately?

Prices are determined by supply and demand you moron. In this case, the supply of money has increased, so its price relative to other goods has decreased (inflation).

You realize the manufacturers were claiming the increases were based on the cost of their goods? Their claim, not mine.

My point was and remains that the costs of the raw goods (aluminum and plastic) have not increased at the rate the prices have gone up.

Plastic is up some, aluminum more, but they have not doubled, nor would that account for the full amount of the increase even if it had assuming all other things remained roughly unchanged (wages, ad costs, etc).

So if the costs haven't increased at the same rates the prices have increased what does that leave for the business? Increased profit taking.

Would you like five articles outlining how food related manufacturers are seeing record profits due to raising prices and blaming it all on covid or would you just prefer to take my word for it?

Why do you speak like this?

At our Kroger, they were $8 per 12-pack...but buy 2, get 3 free. They want you to buy lots of soda, still.

I live in Berlin and now that I read this, I wonder if that happened here. I don't remember seeing Pepsi products the last few times I was in my Kaufland grocery store. Next time I'm there, I will pay attention to see if this is so.

Possible media suppression by the Potato regime on TD.

I routinely patronize 3 different grocery stores in my area and what I have noticed is that the aisle that the soft drinks are on stays fully stocked.
Their product is not selling as it once was in the past and Citizens are cutting back on everything but the essentials , and in some cases they are cutting back on the essentials .

How will this end ? I think it will get rougher .

Sorry, I don’t do carbonated drinks. My doctor told me to stay away from carbs. And I had to give up my hobby of rebuilding vintage automobile engines.

Well in all honesty I doubt anyone of us could. What the hell they gonna pay for it with? Dead flies or the elephant dung?

I don't drink soda anymore but the wife is addicted to Diet Coke; what we found works for us is she has a sip and save through Circle K for $10 month, 1 large 64 oz. drink per day. That's enough for her and we don't have to worry about our kids consuming drinks like they are going out of style.

We do that largely because we have a Circle K at the entrance to our neighborhood so she stops after work to get her fix.
