    It’s usually very small, but here, prices must also show how much 100g/100ml of something costs

      Where is “here” approximately?

      In the U.S. retailers are notorious for having the “unit” price of similar items being listed as (for example) $1.57/oz in one case and $2.23/count in another.

        Not sure where that commenter is from, but it’s the case for Germany. Pretty useful to compare

    Soda is such a fucking profitable scam because it’s mostly water and that resource is mostly free. The syrup and carbonation should be pennies compared to what it actually sells for.

      Water is far from “mostly free”, especially at the amounts used by soda makers

        Here in Germany they can extract millions of liters for a symbolic euro, that is basically free and also far from a third world country. Coke has enough power to get through with this.
