    Y’all, remember this is sugar water and even at $1.06 there’s a significant profit margin.

      Is not even sugar water, it’s corn tea with artificial flavors and colors.

        Depends on the country. Corn syrup in everything is a distinctly American phenomenon

        They don’t increase from inflation. The price increase is inflation and I think it’s an important distinction to make.
