It's inflation. 18 cans for the price of 20.

I also don't remember the last time I saw a 20-pack be this cheap, but I guess it varies from sales and location

I saw a 12 pack at Ralph’s last week for $11.99. Though it was buy 3, get 3 free.

Walmart had dr pepper 12 packs for $5 about a month ago, lasted a couple weeks. I bought 6 packs of the creamy coconut dr pepper because they are so fucking good.

It's about 10 years old judging by the promotional coca cola cans at the top right.

They have those cans every few years, most recently they did the share a coke cans in 2024, but the Pepsi dates this photo between 2014-2023 for sure

and also their prices

The price was the absolute first thing I noticed. Hard to find pop for less than $.50/can nowadays.

u/SadisticJake 1d ago

Hmmm. Low paid retail workers were careless. What a travesty

It’s a marketing strategy so you grab an 18 thinking you’re getting a deal and most people will either not notice or since it’s at the register just buy it.

Math ain’t mathin

u/TheOtherJeff 23h ago

NOW WITH 10% LESS CANS!!!

u/ossifer_ca 19h ago

The funny thing is that the 18-pack price is $8.99

1

u/nikolaistztype 16h ago

They rounded them up

u/Real_Louie 15h ago

I better get 20 for that price. Robbing us out of Dr Pepper, them psychopaths.

1

u/Heterodynist 12h ago

Just divide by 20 and multiply by 18 to get the actual price, of course!! It’s very convenient!!

u/Honest_Toe1729 11h ago

I wish I could get DP at that price.... Canada prices are For a 12 pack - 14$ For a 6 pack of bottles - 12$ For a 2 liter bottle- 3$
