Am I really that old?
When did Soda/Pop prices get to be so high? I’ve been reducing my intake and only drinking splenda items (love the stuff), but I often will get a pop when I go to a restaurant. First place- Outback Steakhouse… no prices on the back for drinks. I check with the waiter- he says something like: $2.24. Second place- Chilli’s, no prices- I check with the waiter, and again the price is somewhere around $2.08. Holy cow has prices on pop jumped like mad? I mean, for $2.16, I can buy 4 liters of pop at a local grocers. That’s about 6-8x the amount of pop I’d drink even if I was getting a refill.
So, when did prices go so insanely high? Am I really *that* old? I remember when soda was less than $1 on the menu…
