Lol! We order pizza and wings pretty frequently from the same place and they always say the same thing-It's $33 but if we add a 2 liter of soda it's a special and costs $31. Okay, so we're saving money by getting a free soda??

Must be that new, fancy math!

That makes NO sense. I'm baffled, bamboozled and boggled.

I didn't know there would be a TEST! I say 'false' or A, I just can't decide.

Shannon said...

You know what? I have never really thought about that before.

Stupid math.

I wonder that ALL THE TIME!

Maybe it is so that you will get addicted to it quicker and then need it more often?

Because they want you to pay extra so that it will fit in your cup holder. Of course.

Elena said...

Oh my word, I had that EXACT same thought this weekend!

Becky said...

It's because people like me are dumb enough to pay $1.4freaking9.

{{sorry!}}

Saving money, plus less wasted plastic for the same amount of pop. It's unfortunate that people might look at you all strange if you walk around town sipping from a 2-liter. Plus, it's heavy. What to do?

I mentioned that to the cashier on Saturday morning - the Dr. Pepper cost $1.49 and the 2 liter was $1.29.

MAKES NO SENSE!

Well, other than to stop drinking the 20 ounce version....but the 2 liter version isn't cold and doesn't fit in my cup holder.

That is why I do not buy soda. Just kidding. I drink only water or unsweet tea is the real truth.

Kim said...

I know...and if you buy 10 oz. in a glass in a restaurant it's $2.50.

Why will the bank charge you $30 in overdraft fees if you pull into the gas station and buy that $1.49 pop? (Yep, I'm from PA, I SAY POP.)

Stupid debit cards...

Heather said...

It's all about buying in bulk, dontcha know?

Just getcha 2 liter-sized cup holder in your car, and you'll be set!

Wired on a Mountain Dew induced high, but set, just the same :)

There was a glitch in the space/time continuum.

Depends on if it's spiked or not...

Another mystery of the universe...

Melissa said...

Convenience, baby. It's all about convenience. 20 oz. is cold. 2 Liter is usually warm. Somebody's gotta cover the electric bill of those little Pepsi coolers at Walmart.....:)

I think it's a conspiracy with the cupholder makers. If only the cupholder would hold a 2-liter...

Question:
Does nectar of the GODS have a artificial sweetener aftertaste?

I hear ya!
