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?
My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves…
The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.
It’s spelled “peach”. But I know what you mean, I really like aspberry tea.
It’s spelled “raspberry”. But I know what you mean, I really like reen tea.
Note the € sign - it’ll be nearly as expensive and you’ll only find 2-3 flavors if you’re lucky (US expat in NL)
Op: Brew your own tea and make your own. Or reduce it by half and add it as a concentrate to fizzy water if you need the bubbles. Also, equal parts sugar and water, low heat in a saucepan until reduced by ⅓-½ and you’ve got sugar syrup. That lasts in the fridge forever, and you can make it as sweet or not as you’d like.
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.
Because as we all know, the thing that changed during the pandemic was that where before greed wasn’t a thing, it is now!
We know greed caused this inflation, because of the correlation between greed varying and the inflation varying.
During the year 2020, greed emerged into humanity, and gave us inflation. It makes perfect sense

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 -
