(5,930 posts)12. Tariffs hit aluminum
Can prices have gone up. The cost of all canned goods are going up because of tariffs on metals.
I don't think that explains all the hike on your coke case though.
Here in Munich, the 1.5 liter bottles sell normally for 1.80. They are on sale rotationally between stores at 1.2-1.3. I buy then.

NO. Most caffeine is made from synthetic components in the lab--including in energy drinks & other products

The price of soda has already spiked. Maybe because of the aluminum used for soda cans?

I don't like 2-liter bottles because they go flat if you dont drink them fast.

Thank you. Ludicrous claim and yet you are the only other one calling bollocks.

I'd say $7.50, they'll want the extra buffer for when Trump increases tariffs again.
