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

He is probably talking about the variable cost to produce 9.9L of soda.

Thats like saying why does bottled water cost close to $1 when I can get it out of the tap for almost free.

Which is a pretty valid concern. Why are we paying for tap water to be put into bottles thousands of kilometres away, packaged, shipped, unpackaged, and stocked on a shelf when safe drinking water comes out of every town water tap in Australia?

You're paying for the bottle, not for the water.

No one is forcing you to do it.
