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.
Preach.
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.
It’s spelled C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
It’s spelled “combo beaker”. But I know what you mean, I really like iced tea.
jesus christ its been a long time since those burned match-end neurons had activity pumped into them
It’s spelled “green”. But I know what you mean, I really like hite tea
It’s spelled “shite”. But i know what you mean, I really like u-erh tea
It’s spelled “green”. But I know what you mean, I really like emon tea.
Mix in some peach herbal tea bags for another 15 cents?
Arizona Ice Tea ftw!
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.
CEOs yachts yacht isn’t going to pay for itself!
Good! That means less people drinking sugar!
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.
Greedflation!
I’ve seen cheaper drinks at ski field cafes… It makes sense for them to be pricey there, since they have to bring it up a mountain, but what’s this places excuse…?
Inner city monopoly
Maybe it’s in an airport within a ski field?
Also insanely unhealthy to consume stuff like this on a day-to-day basis
But it says “low in calories”! 🙄
If it was in a glass bottle maybe I would buy it. Plastic pagaking should be more expensive IMO
Was this picture taken in Ireland OP?
On a trip in Nola and took the kids for a treat at the Cheesecake Factory. 3 sodas and an iced tea was $21. Won’t be back for that reason alone. We are being fleeced.
Let them go bankrupt
Is that a hospital vending machine? I spent £15 once and got 2 packs of crisps, chocolate bar and drink.
That’s painfully expensive for just 500ml, ouch!
Edit: just noticed that looks like just over 1L, still really expensive though…
2-2.50€ would be reasonable. This aint it.
I can steep tea at home for pennies what the Southern fried fuck
Southern fried fuck… sounds delicious.
Idk about that, fucking your cousin while breaded and dipped in hot oil does not sound like a good time to me.
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.
Looks like the price says 1.25L. Even in the US, that’s more than one drink
2L soda used to be .99. Just don’t buy it. These fuckers need to suffer out go out of business.
Yes, but at roughly $5 USD per liter, it’s still a rip off.
Good catch.
“Litre tea. Do we make litre tea?”
