I thought it was per liter and moved on to the comments but I now realize that that would've been even worse. Don't really know what I was thinking, I can be stupid at times
It's extremely inexpensive. The generic 1.5 liter option costs about $0.60 USD.
The Danish krona is actually pegged to the euro, so you are half right ๐
Nobody should drink either of these.
What?
both sugar and its substitutes are bad for you, in different ways.
ya but they turn on the happy chemicals in the brain sooo....
Much much less so the substitutes, but otherwise this.
Nobody should drink either of these.

Water, fucking free
I mean, not really, but significantly cheaper.
falls out of the fuckin sky, I couldn't believe it.
Taps nose
Depends on the country, in Scotland it's free.
Well... Free at the point of use. We pay what's called council tax which is a tax on the value of your home (even if renting) to cover services like street lamps, sewage, water, libraries, rubbish removal, etc.
But, it's free to use as much as you want. I could leave my taps on all day if I wanted, there's no meter, no charge per litre. So considering I have to pay that tax just to live, water is essentially free.
Obviously some countries have more access to water than others, but those without the worry of drought or rationing should definitely have free at the point of use water.
Fuck private interests, fuck profiteering, water is essential for all life, socialist public controlled water for all is the way to go. You only have to look at the water scandals of England to see what private control of water gets you.
In Germany (at least where I live) is the same. Water is basically built into my rent, and I don't think about what I use except from an environmental perspective.
Wa'a, pure Wa'a!

Not if Nestle can have it their way
Nestle did sell water they literally stole
Just some context: Lidl has this sort of campaign going on for years as of to promote their own store brands - other markets here do that too. They do the same with showing a shopping cart consisting of store brands vs brand products and on how much money u can save.
Maybe they can use the current momentum to push this campaign more โฆ
The Cola Next bottle is just begging to be twisted until the cap rockets into the ceiling
Why is the bottle shaped like that? Seems really uncomfortable
Makes a safer buttplug
This is a 1.5 litre bottle!
Did I fucking stutter?
That reminds me, does anyone have an EU or Canadian alternative to Bad Dragon?
Try sitting on an Amsterdammertje
Not my area of expertise, but I once did a double take in tesco when what I worried was a sex toy turned out to be an unnecessarily large herb and spice grinding device.
On the contrary. It's a big bottle. The shape makes it easier to hold
Based
Just Saying:
Even if Lidl is not a monopoly it is currently, it will become one if we let it. Just think about it:
- they control a lot of stores
- it is still controlled by a very rich man
- they will soon push out many independent products for their own
Even if we can't outlaw making a profit from the means of production, we should at least make all critical infrastructure (like supermarkets) be owned by a in German we call them โFรถrderkreisโ with an ethics committee where the people working there and others associated with it can democratically vote about any and all changes.
I donโt drink soda these days but from past experiences I see the real crime here is that they are comparing it to Pepsi and not Coke ๐
Coca Cola Zero is awful. Most people I know, that drink sugar free, drink Pepsi Max.
I almost like coke zero more than regular coke, same goes for quite a few that I know in person. Must be a regional thing?
So far, the only soda I've found where the sugar-free version is the same or better than the regular version is Big K [Kroger store brand] grapefruit citrus soda. I literally can't taste the difference between the sugar-free and regular versions at all.
Coke Zero comes pretty close, though, and I've never tried Pepsi Max.
I would have to agree, I only drank full strength sugary cokes!
Coke Zero did a major flavor change a few years ago (same time they changed to logo to a primarily red bittle with black text instead of the opposite), and I actually really like it now.
Same. I used to only like diet coke, but that's not a thing here in Japan. Interestingly, when I went back to the US, I couldn't stand regular nor diet; there was something really weird and chemically going on there).

I don't understand why we seek to be better in this kind of files (bad food, stupidly sugared beverage)
It's not like a national pride
And it's the choice of the new generation.
I wish it was still called Max over here. The design was cooler back at the very beginning, but "max" still sounds cooler than "zero sugar". I understand why it changed for marketing, but I still think it's way less cool sounding and as extra syllables when I mention it.
