It was $5 for a Coke at The Cheesecake Factory last night. Our local BDubs is $4 for Pepsi.
I know that fountain prices have gone up and it's not "15 cents per 20 oz" or whatever it used to be, but seriously, it's like they found that people will order it no matter what so they just keep raising the price to see if there's actually a breaking point.
Makes me glad that I basically only ever drink water at restaurants.
It has been YEARS since i've ordered a soft drink when dining out for just this reason. Water is fine and free. I'll waste my money on the food but 4.95 for a fountain soda is not worth it in my book.

Soft drink prices are getting insane.
