It was only $1 if you were really lucky.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, if you go to the store and buy a case it's cheaper than that. A lot cheaper if you get it on sale, but you've already pointed out most of the hidden costs involved. <BR/><BR/>The one you didn't point out is the convenience cost. When someone goes to the store they don't have to take their beverage with them. They don't have to figure out how to keep it cool. They don't have to take a selection in case they decide they want Mountain Dew instead of Coke when they finally get ready to have a drink. All they have to do is put a buck in their pocket.Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-19726998693559058522008-08-06T20:14:00.000-07:002008-08-06T20:14:00.000-07:00If you ask me a $1.00 coke from a vending machine ...If you ask me a $1.00 coke from a vending machine seems cheap. I've seen cheaper, but usually more expensive. And if you buy a Coke at a Baseball Game your looking at 6 to $6.50 a drink. It's bigger than one can but maybe 2 1/2 cokes. <BR/><BR/>A dollar seems plenty reasonable.Son of a 29erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862536347684645915noreply@blogger.com
