I did not say they were better, I said they taste better. With the economy in the state it is in, I think a 2 litter bottle at 1.89 is excessive. It cost zulch to produce the soda, in fact cost more to produce the can or bottle. As you know the market gets a check monthly for the amount of shelfspace the product takes. In some cases here we are talking thousands of dollars. This is all paid down the line by us the consumers. The soda companies even pack out the product on the market shelves so it cost market nothing for labor. The biggest cost for munufacturer is advertiseing, and gasoline, which in some cases and states the franchised driver pays for , as well as paying for the rental of his truck from the soda company.It also seems like they are trying to get into the health business.by adding mor chemicals and additives to the product. Soon you will need a Doctors prescription to buy soda
PS> We once did a blindfold test up north Gave people blindfolded coke, ginger ale and 7 up ,outcome 90% could not tell difference.
