Guess I should give the true consumer cost of pop, not that it is a big drain on our budget, not like some who seem to be addicted to the stuff, not to mention the ones who have a bar and a coke for breakfast, but I wont go into that further.
Cost of a can of coke today is $1.55, plus Enviro Levy of .08 cents, plus 15% HST = $1.88.
Cost of a can of Diet 7up is $1.59, add the Enviro tax and HST you get $1.92.
Looks like Big Sugar has their fingers in our pockets, hence our health, more than we realized.

2 litre of pepsi from the drugstore here is sometimes .99 and their brand sometimes 79 for a two litre.(before tax and fee) i guess the shipping cost makes the difference in nain.
I'm surprised the cost of pop has finally caught up with the cost of everything else. Every time I've been in Nain, after hearing all the horror stories about $12 cabbage and all, I've always been surprised to find junk food to be no more expensive than in Goose Bay, even though it is transported in the same way as the aforesaid $12 cabbages.
