    Your not paying for the contents anymore. It’s shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO’s expenses your paying for.

      No. You’re paying for the rent if the probable airport kiosk this photo was taken in.

    The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?

    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.

    Alternatively, you can walk to the coca cola shelf, pick up a 250 ml glass bottle and pay about 6.3 €/l. You know, there are really expensive specialty coffee beans that produce a drinkable liquid that costs less than that.

      checked the math, fresh small roaster beans cost about 60€/kg these days, with 1 1.25dl cup taking about 7g of beans the cost of that coffee would be about 3.5€/l

        Yep. That’s about the usual price range I was thinking of. However, you can easily go over that with Jamaica Blue mountain (190 €/kg) and a high dose (70 g/l). The price of that liquid would be about 15 €/l, which is incidentally in the wine territory.

    1.25L for €4.95? Wow… $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!

    Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.

    I paid 8 Euros for 1L of Coke in Germany 15 years ago. To be fair that was at Oktoberfest… I think the beer was the same price.

    I agree though, too expensive for day to day consumption.

      Good. This liquid sugar shouldn’t be part of anyone’s day to day consumption. Occasional treat? Sure! But no more than that.
