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.

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

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.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

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 -

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!

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 8 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's all for the Rich People Yatch Money.

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

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 31 points 1 year ago

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

[-] adrian783@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

Eww. The only thing worse than bottled Lipton is Brisk.

[-] Kethal@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] realitista@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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