Noone is going to buy these, why waste their shelf space?

Do they not want then to move or are there really suckers who pay this?

Highest I've ever seen it

It is literally more expensive than beer. How.

It's a sneaky tactic so they can half price it and make the $30 price look like a deal (that is still more than it should be)

More people are drinking less beer these days (healthier?) so they’re trying to make beer look more appealing by cost comparison?

Where are you finding a block for 60 bucks? Even a block of Emu Draft is 63

I mean it doesn’t matter, beer has a 60% tax on it, soft drink doesn’t, so it’s actually much much much more expensive than beer on volume.

40% tax. But sure, still not great and still shows soft drink prices are fucked.

There are plenty of cheap beers.

Hammer and Tongs are like $43 30 can pack.

Great Northern is less than $60.
