I am not sure if this is nationwide but I am in Woodcroft New South Wales and the price scanned up as a dollar for a 600 ml bottle of Pepsi Max lemon heaps of stock. Assume they are trying to get it on clearance as it's no longer being made or perhaps truly a bargain?
CO2 is getting more expensive.
I'm looking at sodasteam prices, cheaper to buy homebrand soda. The gas itself is ~58 cents a liter ($35 for up to 60L canister) plus the syrup is ~70 cents to make a liter ($7 for up to 9L mix) and that is $1.28/L before the startup costs of the filler and bottle. Generic brand soda is ~80 cents a liter.
@Kommodore: Yes, the incentive now is really to reduce plastic use, or make custom sodas. It does save money over brand name sodas, but not much.
How did everything else get normalised in recycle bin zoo land West, that's how.
They would have to pay me $1 to take it. Then I’d tip it down the drain. This stuff is crap. Even for the serious ozbargainer.

Nah! Don't do that. Use it to clean your toilet instead.

Its a shame Pepsi focuses so much on their sugar free flavours rather than catering to both versions.
Us Coke lovers DGAF!
That’s because you only like getting the minimum. Pepsi lovers want to maximum instead. YGAF
I bought a bottle a long time ago and liked it.
Then I bought a case from Amazon and quickly hated it with a passion.
I'm not sure what the moral of this story is, but be prepared to throw your $1 in the bin.
Pepsi Max and their derivatives seem to go bad really quick. Loses flavour and starts to taste metallic.
Hmm. Interesting theory - I really should be checking best by dates on amazon stuff, huh …
WA Coles, north of the river, showing $0.50.
How did we normalise paying $4-5 for a small bottle of drink?
Probably costs less than 15c to manufacture.
