So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.
Or make your own iced tea for even cheaper than the cheapest bottled one and save the plastic waste.
Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.
My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves...
The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.
jesus christ its been a long time since those burned match-end neurons had activity pumped into them
Note the € sign - it’ll be nearly as expensive and you’ll only find 2-3 flavors if you’re lucky (US expat in NL)
Op: Brew your own tea and make your own. Or reduce it by half and add it as a concentrate to fizzy water if you need the bubbles. Also, equal parts sugar and water, low heat in a saucepan until reduced by ⅓-½ and you’ve got sugar syrup. That lasts in the fridge forever, and you can make it as sweet or not as you’d like.
Use low to medium heat - too hot and you can make the concentrates bitter or crystallized. 😉 The tea concentrate can be kept in the fridge for about a week, but keep it capped.
Your not paying for the contents anymore. It's shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO's expenses your paying for.
It gets lonely because he never has time for it 🥺
(Not because he's busy, it's just actually kind of a boring thing)
Because as we all know, the thing that changed during the pandemic was that where before greed wasn’t a thing, it is now!
We know greed caused this inflation, because of the correlation between greed varying and the inflation varying.
During the year 2020, greed emerged into humanity, and gave us inflation. It makes perfect sense

They never needed an excuse. All they needed was the lack of competition that we gave them when we forcibly shut down their competitors.
Just so you know - Carrefour is one of the biggest retailers in Europe, they're French, and have said a giant "Va te faire foutre" to PepsiCo this week -
For anyone who didn't know, Lipton's readymade beverages, like the one in the picture, are owned and sold by PepsiCo.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml
I've seen cheaper drinks at ski field cafes... It makes sense for them to be pricey there, since they have to bring it up a mountain, but what's this places excuse...?
Gom Syrup 50/50 mix sugar (caster is easiest) or honey (don't hate me France) & boiling water Black tea 2 grams per 8oz water at 70c increase tea a little more if adding ice right away Fruit juice or purée to taste or go Eurobeat and not bother
Put in a reusable container, stop supporting nonsense things you can do yourself

the Euro sign is only placed before the amount in English, Dutch, Irish and Maltese
While true, on pricing labels it's put in front of the numbers in other countries as well. My unresearched guess is to avoid tampering with a pen when a currency sign is blocking the space to put additional numbers in front.
That was my thought. I spent the last 48 hours in various airports, and this briefly looked normal to me.
Of course it is. You’re not going to consume all 15 servings in that bottle at once I hope!
If it was in a glass bottle maybe I would buy it. Plastic pagaking should be more expensive IMO
Is it me, or are those only about half full? I can't tell if the label is transparent or opaque. 😳
It's not though is it? Can you really consider this product tea? And it definitely does not contain any ice. Therefore the product is named ice tea. If you make tea at home and put ice inside? Voila you got yourself some iced tea.
Honestly I'm surprised the EU even lets this be called tea. It really should be "tea flavoured beverage" at best in the same way they won't let "American cheese" (the Kraft singles stuff) be called cheese, no?
Iced Tea is only really a thing in this context in the EU. Most of the people I know (myself included) never really made the connection and were surprised to find out it's supposed to be real tea on ice, hence the name. We call it ice tea without really thinking about it, just like no one ever thought "I bet they call this coca-cola because it used to be made with cocaine".
Honestly don't even think it tastes like tea. To me it just tastes like "Ice Tea".
On a trip in Nola and took the kids for a treat at the Cheesecake Factory. 3 sodas and an iced tea was $21. Won't be back for that reason alone. We are being fleeced.
The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?
Is that a hospital vending machine? I spent £15 once and got 2 packs of crisps, chocolate bar and drink.
Will they ever stop doing their stupid 4.95 or 4.99 as if people don't understand it's like 5 euro ...
People will fall for this. Everyone reads its like 4 and even if you know it you can be mislead
1.25L for €4.95? Wow... $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!
Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.
