“Ice” tea drives me nuts - it’s iced!
No, no. This is literally steeped ice cubes.
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?
Your not paying for the contents anymore. It’s shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO’s expenses your paying for.
No. You’re paying for the rent if the probable airport kiosk this photo was taken in.
I’ve cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They’ll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they’ll settle there… for awhile.
They never needed an excuse. All they needed was the lack of competition that we gave them when we forcibly shut down their competitors.
Eww. The only thing worse than bottled Lipton is Brisk.
I don’t understand this comment. Brisk is Lipton.
Make your own. Only takes a minute and once you find the right formula, will taste much better than this garbage.
And you know what? It’s kinda a good thing that this disposable stuff is more expensive. A tiny tea bag is way more sustainable and makes better iced tea for a fraction of the cost with no plastic.
Will they ever stop doing their stupid 4.95 or 4.99 as if people don’t understand it’s like 5 euro …
It’s scientifically proven that it’s works. So, never.
People will fall for this. Everyone reads its like 4 and even if you know it you can be mislead
Water is the best
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
Good news! This drink is mostly water by volume!
💦 💦
The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?
Nah, it’s all for the Rich People Yatch Money.
It’s like everybody has forgotten about market pricing.
That isnt a drink, its flavoured sugar water with some nasty chemicals hidden in there
Also insanely unhealthy to consume stuff like this on a day-to-day basis
But it says “low in calories”! 🙄
Of course it is. You’re not going to consume all 15 servings in that bottle at once I hope!
Is it me, or are those only about half full? I can’t tell if the label is transparent or opaque. 😳
Alternatively, you can walk to the coca cola shelf, pick up a 250 ml glass bottle and pay about 6.3 €/l. You know, there are really expensive specialty coffee beans that produce a drinkable liquid that costs less than that.
checked the math, fresh small roaster beans cost about 60€/kg these days, with 1 1.25dl cup taking about 7g of beans the cost of that coffee would be about 3.5€/l
Yep. That’s about the usual price range I was thinking of. However, you can easily go over that with Jamaica Blue mountain (190 €/kg) and a high dose (70 g/l). The price of that liquid would be about 15 €/l, which is incidentally in the wine territory.
There’s a secret trick: don’t buy this kind of crap.
New strategy to refrain consumers from buying soft drinks? Perhaps high taxation behind it, like special purpose taxes?
I remember this happened in my country; to cull high sugar and sweetners content, the industry threw a fit, the authorities didn’t care, life moved forward and sugar content in soft drinks dropped (but not the prices).
Lipton was always much more expensive than other brands, as well.
I smoke weed like a chimney and occasionally binge on sugary stuff.
It’s the sugar that fucks me up. I kick ass at work when I haven’t eaten any sugar. Then I go get a bunch of donuts, and I’m fucked for a few days.
I’m not going to call sugar poison but too much can do a number on you.
Good! That means less people drinking sugar!
