      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.

        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.

        First they came for cigarettes and I did not speak out

      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.

      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

      Drink enough of them and you’ll get basically a beer gut, but more like a soda gut since it’s filling you with it’s carbonated shit. That is hard to work off and takes a while.

    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.

    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.
