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.
The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?
"Ice" tea drives me nuts - it's iced!
So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.
Eww. The only thing worse than bottled Lipton is Brisk.
Good! That means less people drinking sugar!
Also insanely unhealthy to consume stuff like this on a day-to-day basis
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.
That isnt a drink, its flavoured sugar water with some nasty chemicals hidden in there
Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.
What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?
Was this picture taken in Ireland OP?
1.25L for €4.95? Wow... $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!
Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.
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.
I paid 8 Euros for 1L of Coke in Germany 15 years ago. To be fair that was at Oktoberfest... I think the beer was the same price.
I agree though, too expensive for day to day consumption.

Good. This liquid sugar shouldn't be part of anyone's day to day consumption. Occasional treat? Sure! But no more than that.
