Did I miss the memo...did pop prices go up recently?

[vi edit]

Stopped in at a several different gas stations on an 800 mile drive across I-90 last week and 20oz bottles of pop were now $1.30 instead of the $.99-$1.10 I usually paid.

Get back home and pack of 12 cans at Walmart went from $1.99 up to $2.50.

Coke have to jack up prices to pay for the billion dollars worth of advertising they are going to spend at the Super Bowl this year?

I don't know about pop, but I'm still annoyed about Wendy's raising the prices on their value menu.

He was right nayway, its pop.

And around here, though I am not really a pop drinker, 20 oz's have been $1.25 or so for a while

Midwesterner. Its been a while since I've heard someone call it Pop. I've taken to calling it soda myself, after leaving in TX/AZ for the last few years.

I'll never call it all coke though. Stupid inbred southerner's can't read a fricking a label . . . *grumbles*

 

[FoBoT]

2 liters of wal-mart soda are still $0.50 here, so i guess not

 

[KillyKillall]

$3.00 for 8 oz. bottle of water at Disney World last week.

 

[lozina]

meet inflation

 

[Hammer]

Same here in VA.

Someone: You wanna coke? What kind?
Someone #2: I'll have a Sprite, thanks.

I guess you missed the 20 Oz bottles of DeSani bottled water for $4.50. Such a bargain. :Q

I was also at Disney 1.5 weeks ago. Stayed at Disney's Pop Century Resort. By "Pop" they don't mean soda as Pop Century is a themed hotel area.

Those Coke bastards raised the machine in my office from 35 to 40 cents.

[TwiceOver]

In machines and in gas stations they have gone up here. But usually at Hy-Vee (Grocery Store) they have 4 12packs for $8-$10. Currently $8.88

Seriously. This happened in like the last week or so didn't it?

We've been paying $1.99 for 12 packs here in IA for a couple years now. Just last week it went up to $2.50 a pack. My wife and I usually split a 12 pack of Diet Cherry Coke each week.

In a real restaurant...

Can I have a coke please?
What flavor?
Just coke...
You have to pick a flavor...
Um, how about Pepsi...
Coming right up!





I'd like a large carbonated water, flavored with corn syrup, vanilla extract, citric acid, & carmel color.

It's the truth.



Although, I'm coming to find I call it "soft drink" lately.

Then again, I'm drinking more and more water so I don't worry too much about it.

Either that or I get some Diet Rite from Sam's Club. No sugar, no Aspartame, no high prices.
