I could’ve expected that, my wife takes zoo trips in Germany with a coworker and they also get loads of grocery’s.
Just last weekend she brought a bunch of monster energy, 77 cents a piece. I pay €2,50 for a single can over here.
She also bought kraken rum and a bottle of aberfeldy whiskey for me which were roughly €7 cheaper each.
When i was 16 i worked at Albert Heijn and they stopped selling coca cola because the distributor wanted to make them €1,35 compared to the current €1,15. Albert Heijn said “nope, stop or we will stop selling”. The shelves were empty for a couple weeks and then miraculously filled with coca cola for €1,35 and not a word was spoken about it.
But i stumbled on a mini documentary on yt about German grocery stores (specifically the huge ones apparently) and how they are losing money. So you might end up paying a similar price as us some time in the near future.
It’s specifically about superstores tho, but i kinda zoned out somewhere along the video.
Tbh the price increases we’ve seen since then were pretty much a lot of the western society that dealt with it, there were resource issues and a lot of volatility in the market due to this covid ordeal.
I’m not dismissing the fact that those increases put a lot of stress on all of our finances.
Little baggies of coca cola, 75 cents each, get em while they’re hot!
With todays price…you’re selling at a loss dude.
In my mind a bottle was still like 1,50, turns out those bastards are already at twice that over here.
A bottle is about 1,20 here in Germany including tax, but excluding pfand

Could you maybe try to find that documentary/video essay? That sounds really interesting
Also prices already went up dramatically since 2020. I used to only pay around 1€ for a bag of chips. Now it’s double that
2,50€ for a single can of Monster Energy is almost service area level pricing.

That’s how they sell coca cola in Mexico
Same in Thailand.
Wait why in a bag? I can’t imagine a cup being more expensive.
Gotta make sure to leech as many phthalates into the drink as possible
