    Funny though - Those 500ml bottles of Coke were € 1.50 or thereabouts in most convenience stores last year. Now they're € 1.60 - € 1.70. So, between 20c and 40c per litre added on. Does Coca Cola production costs go up that much in such a short space, bearing in mind that those type of increases (up to 40c a litre) in petrol would cause an outcry.

    The 330ML ones seem to be stamped with €1 as the price, mostly, so the retailer can't rip you off.

    Any retailer is going to charge as much as people will pay, same way when you get a job, you try get as big a salary as possible

    true, but ask for more than you're worth and no employer would hire you.... Plus you'll also be the first to go in any cutbacks ;)

    As an antidote to the rip off, Centra are doing 4x500ml Cokes for €3.50 ;)
