wow I usually pay like 2.00-2.50 per 12pack case.

and BBQ. I swear there's BBQ everywhere!
mmmm, and don't forget the mexican food (real homesytle mexican food, not taco Bueno or taco hell)

edit: if everyone calls it a coke machine, everything from the machine is coke, if you want coca cola, ask for it specifically otherwise your getting a dr.pepper. and whats with original formula coca cola? the actual original formula had trace amounts of cocaine, so technically that's false advertising. and what's with the 8oz. cans for a $1 when a 12oz. can is 50 cents?

They dont do away with the 2s.

They have .5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 in Texas. And Ive seen the 13oz Bottles Dave has mentioned, for .79 though.

No that would be their new reduced cal/sugar Coke C2.

soda are getting more expensive, I remember paying 99cents for a 1 liter back in 96, then 20oz were 99cents for a while, now they have 13oz out for 99cents.

Yes it is. ;)

BBQ, oysters, fried chicken, Coke, crawfish, and other southern food are where it's at.


This man is correct. It is ALL Coke. The South invented Coke, so either deal with it or shut up!
:p

/me slaps Rossman back into reality.

The Hondaboys were geting tired of the old "my coke bottle is bigger than your whole motor" bit, so now their massive 1.6L motors will triumph over the new 1.5L bottles :p

I've never seen a 1.5L bottle of any kind of pop. The store I work (suburban Chicago) at has cans, 20oz, 1L, and 2L bottles.

We have 3L in Indiana, but it's not Coke or Pepsi. They are probably making it into 1.5L to save money on shipping costs and materials. U might be a new test market for the 1.5L.

That's weird. But I'd be more angry at them charging $1.50 for a 20 ounce in a high traffic area than them downsizing the $0.89 bottle from 2 liters to 1.5
