I wouldn't avoid the price but I'd avoid that specific soda. I miss Sierra Mist. Starry is not the same.Eh, I prefer it to canned Sprite.

No, I wouldn't specifically avoid that price if I felt it was worth it. But that's way too much for a fucking 12 pack of soda
It's lower than Walmarts around hereGross. Soda doesn't even cost that much to make
Gross. Soda doesn't even cost that much to makewhile they're obviously overcharging, my understanding of why canned soda costs so much is that there's an aluminum shortage.

ALL soda is sold at a ridiculous markup. That's why you can buy a 2 liter at a grocery store for less than a 20oz at a convenience store. It's the reason fast food restaurants offered free refills for so long, and also the reason they sell you a burger for what seems like a "discount" and then ask you if you want to buy a $3-4 soda.
I've been looking into getting a soda fountain at work and a 5 gallon bag of Coke syrup is ~$110. Those 5 gallons turn into a little more than 8000 8 ounce servings.
To let you know, a 12pk in Cali can cost $11. In cheaper stores it'll cost around $5, but it's pretty common to be about $7.

a 24 pack of coke can be had for around 150,000 VND without any special promotions, which equates to less than 6 dollars.That's a nice price. 8 dollars(204,360 VND) is about the cheapest you'll find a 24pk, but that's only on sale.

I agree it's too high, but wouldn't it make sense that it at least costs more than the cost to make?
usually markups are negligible or something like 15-25%
Soda markups are astronomical in comparison to the cost.
There's a reason nearly every restaurant charges $3.50 for a soda, it anchors the price of other menu items.
I'd be more inclined to purchase it, tbh.

The unit price is wrong. A 12-pack selling for $6.66 does not break down to 4.6 per can.Unit price here is by ounce.
It's 55.5 per can.
How much is the gas for those? I'm sure you still come out ahead, even with average maintenance on everything too. I don't think we ever needed maintenance on the fountains at the places I've worked, but we would clean the dispenser nozzle things daily and obviously change out the syrup when it was low.
Here I was bitching because it was almost $6 at walmart the other day.Local Walmart has Starry for $6.47 but (Diet) Pepsi for $7.57
supplier to seller markups are far higher than 15-25%Correct. We added 30% on anything we bought to sell. Our beef and pecans were excluded from that since it was money we put out. Pecans were 1 time cost for the harvester(10k), diesel, electricity to run the cracker/sheller machines(1 time cost of 10k). Labor and packaging(me mostly)
I worked in a grocery store deli 10 years ago and saw one of our invoices. the meats we sold for $8-12/pound only cost us $3-5. All the rest of that price is labor and supplies, plus profit
