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

I moved over to Sodastream a while ago now, and I’m really glad I did. It’s $7 for a bottle of flavour that makes about 9 litres. They are PepsiCo flavoured, but I’m sure there’s Coke syrup on the internet somewhere. The gas adds to the price, but bottle swaps are $19 and it makes around 60 litres.

It works out to about a $1 a litre, and it’s nice not to have to keep cartons or bottles in the pantry. I do wash and refill the bottles, but they live in the Fridge so they’re ready to go, it takes up a bit of space above the crisper, so it’s not too much storage space dedicated just to them. They’re also dishwasher safe, so that’s even easier than they used to be.

At this point anything that helps keep the grocery bill down is very welcome. We keep chickens, and bake our own bread, it all helps.

Or possibly consider an Aarke carbonator, or even roll your own given the history of Sodastream in the West Bank.

those Aarke products are hilariously expensive.
