Gatorade Inflation

Hi Robert,
Thought about you when on my way to work and stopped at 7-11 for my favorite drink.  Same great price, same great taste....without those last 4 ounces! 
Thanks Helicopter Ben!!!

    1. I realize my picture didn't show the 2 for $3 sale, but the 28oz bottles are almost the only thing left on the shelves. I bought 2 flavors I don't even really like because at least they were that size.

      Give it time, I'm sure the 28 ouncers are on the way to your place soon.

  2. You can get a 32oz at Von's for $1. This is stupid.

  3. What is the world coming to when you can't turn a profit selling 32 oz of water and corn sugar @ $2.30?

    1. A world where (all else being equal), people are slightly worse off because they spend an extra 50 cents (or whatever) for the same product. An effect that is perfectly predictable by basic economics to boot!
