The annual soda price increase thread. Like Groundhog Day with Bill Murry. :lol:
Anyway, with fuel prices way up and commodity prices way up I am suprised the increase was not more extreme. :shrug:
A cup of water is free. Anyone can get a drink if they need one.
Soda at my local baseball stadium is $4.00. Soda is not over priced at Disney all things considered. Now $8 for a hot dog, that is another matter.

A long time ago we felt the prices for a bottle of soda or water became crazy. But this really doesnt effect us too much. Since we drive we learned a long time ago that we can just bring a case of water and pop and spend around $10. The biggest plus to doing this is we can bring what we like instead.
Rate of inflation is an indicator of prices as a whole. It really can't be accurately applied to a single product, especially one like soda whose cost is directly tied to the price of a commodity (HFCS and sugar in the case of soda). The price of HFCS went up 9% between 2010 and 2011 and the price of sugar doubled between 2009 and 2010.This is more than a 15% increase, equal to at least 5 years' worth of inflation.
amen! We've been doing this for awhile for our resort...we'll bring a case of soda, 1/2 gallon of milk, and a case of water, and cereal and it ends up saving us about $30-$50 a trip depending on the length when you consider the drinks and breakfasts you are not buying now. :wave:
