minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 days agoTBH I was surprised to see red bull is the same price as coke, I was expecting it to cost more. Almost certainly costs them more to buy it. I’d never expect any non-alcoholic drinks to cost more than the alcoholic ones though, hence my surprise. We have alcohol tax and GST (VAT) but together they might add 35% to the price, not enough to make beer cheaper.
