I remember that 6 1/2 oz bottle...a classic, but gone to plastic. They should have kept the shape in green plastic, which they tried.

Companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi think they're pulling a fast one over the public. Remember six or seven years back when they started raising the price of a 20 oz. drink to a dollar or more? As of late, they were about $1.39 or so each.

Well now, the drinks have all of a sudden dropped down to $0.99 in many grocery and convenience stores. I'm sure many of you, myself included, thought we were getting a good deal at first. Take a closer look at the bottle, though.

It's only 16 oz.

That's right, they're selling us four oz. less for the same price we were paying a few years back. The bottles look and feel almost the same. It's a trick, though. There is less product! Their profit margin ratio is even higher than it was with us paying $1.39 for the 20 oz.

Good grief.

Can't drink coke anymore...don't miss the battery acid taste, either. Sweet soda are a major cause of obesity and diabetes. 6 1/2 oz. are not enough anymore...we need 32 oz

Thanos is soooo right. Also, what's up with 2 liters lately? They held steady at around $1 for a long time, now there like $1.70??

I thought Bacardi was the real thing, and coke was the mixer. (ugh, when I thought that I threw up a little in my mouth)

Years back they had 16oz Coke in glass bottles in six pack cartons. I still have a 32oz "money back" Coke bottle that was before the 2liter craze. I think it was worth a dime, wonder what I could get for it now.

And on that note, the milk prices tanked recently. What's up with that? Loss leader?? Can't figure it out.
