    Genuine question from European: do you consider $1 per can outrageous?!

    20 cans for $5 is absurdly cheap for me

      For a 12 oz/300ml? Yeah, that gets into crazy territory.

      But we’re in crazy land right now. My local Walmart? 8.50 for a 12 pack. 70 cents a can, so not full loony. But a far cry from this picture a decade ago with under 20 cents a can.

          Part of that is the power of government subsidized high fructose corn syrup, yeah. It’s in a lot of American food and makes a huge difference in pricing healthy vs highly processed foods.
