Price of a 12 pack of Coca-Cola

[Snagglefoot]

Coke changed their look and apparently also the price. A 12 pack of 12 oz cans works to $4.00 US at my local discount grocery store. How much is Coca-Cola at your local grocery store these days? ( Most useful to Coca-Cola drinkers)

I think the cheapest is at Payless (It's Kroger, but since they don't call it Kroger they have non-union employees,) it's 3 for $13.

I don't drink much soda, maybe a couple cans per month total, but when I do buy it the price is usually about 25 cents per can in 12-packs. So I guess that's about $3-4 per 12 pack. I will only buy it priced that low. I won't pay more, as I don't need it and rarely crave it. The amount of condensed sugar per can is enormous.

By comparison, I can get a can of lemonade mix for $8 and that will last probably 2 months with regular use. One glass of lemonade will have 1-2 spoonfuls of sugar.

A can of soda has 30+ spoonfuls of sugar.

As I age and learn more about diabetes, it's a disease you do NOT want to have. And now that I've mostly stopped drinking liquor, which I drank a lot with soda, I cut back a lot on soda intake.

5.99/12pack but sale often around 3 for $12 or cheaper.

A year ago our Dollar General would occasionally run a 3 12 packs for $10 special and charge a little over $4 for a single pack in between specials. Later in the year it went to 3/$12 special and close to $5 for a single pack. I went in the other day and transitory inflation has boosted the Coke prices to 2 packs $11 or $6.50 (!) for a single pack. Hard No at that price.

My google search has 10 teaspoons of sugar per 375ml can.
How big are the cans you're referring to?
35oz?

Where are you learning about diabetes, the internet?

countrytime lemonade has 20g per 8oz
Coke has 26g per 8oz

your 30:1 myth is busted.

Please use real facts when posting with authority.. probably why you get alot of backlash on bitog.

Posting many incorrect statements and opinions as fact will get you fact checked.

For those of us still cooking with imperial units a 12 oz can of coke has 140 calories. Sugar is 16 calories per teaspoon, so 8.75 teaspoons of sugar per can, or slightly less than 0.2 cups per can, 1.5 oz etc.

You do know that they make diet versions with no sugar? As for price, last time I bought any for home consumption 2 or 3 years ago they had 2 liter bottles regularly on sale for for 99 cents. On a side not, what a rip off that fast food joints charge $2.19 for just a cupful.

One reason why I drink lemonade.

Soda

 

[BMW Dom]

I hardly drink soda, but I do love a coke sometimes. Besides then, I stick with water

 

[aquariuscsm]

Do they still make diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper? That stuff is GOOD!!

But yeah, I never drink soda. It's pure poison.

 

[Dave Hess]

Once in a blue moon I like a Cherry Coke.

 

[Oillover]

Soda of the Club variety is my preference.
Anything more than carbonated water is too fancy for my tastes.

I was estimating, obviously not providing medically correct specific nutritionary advice. I'm not your dietician nor doctor.

I get "backlash" because there are some extremely rude condescending people here who don't follow the rules. Reread your post if you'd like an example of an unsolicited rude and incorrect posting. Nothing is "busted." When I make my drink mix, I go easy on the sugar. Sorry bud, you're wrong.

Even with the recommended official servings on the products you've got your hands on the scales for both products while pretending to give official numbers. That's not correct.
The lemonade is 16 gr/ 8oz sugar and cherry coke is closer to double that, ~28 gr per 8 oz. sugar.
However if you make your own you can do it less sweet, about a few grams of sugar. So, not far from a 30 to 1 ratio, really.
Darn close to what I said, regarding a LOT more sugar than what you can make with powedered.

A glass of HOME MADE powdered lemonade has as much or as little sugar as you want. I put in 1-2 spoon fulls, and a shot of real lemon juice.
A can of cocacola has 42 grams of sugar, or dozens of spoonfuls. A bottle of coke is 55grams of sugar. That's a LOT of sugar. That's my point.

Countrytime lemonade drink mix at Costco, for 8oz. Would be about 20 grams for 12 oz. serving. And you can mix it with less sugar, which I normally do.
