Soft Drink Bottles

When you walk into a store you are thirsty and look at the 20-ounce soft drinks. There beside the soft drink are two-liter bottles of soft drinks. You take a good look, not only are there different types of soft drink, but there are different prices. You then ask yourself the question: Why does a two-liter bottle of soft drink cost less than a 20-ounce of soft drink?
In a two-liter bottle there are 67.63 ounces. The national average cost of a two-liter is around $1.10 a bottle. For a 20-ounce bottle the national cost is $1.23.
This poses a question of why does a two-liter bottle of soft drink cost more. You would think that a 20-ounce bottle would cost less.
A 2 liter bottle of soft drink has three times more pop than a 20-ounce bottle. Sure there is more for your money, but does that matter to people? People in today’s society are always searching for the easiest way out and what isthe shortcut. Does this apply to the choice of what one may buy? Yes, it can. Can you see a person walking around or going to the office with a two-liter bottleand drinking from it? You probably will not see that unless they plan on sharing it. You would see a person walking with a 20-ounce of soft drink though for themselves.
It is all about convenience. A 20-ounce bottle of soft drink is easier to carry around than a two-liter A 20-ounce bottle of water is smaller in size and is made for one person One can drink it and when it is all consumed, they can throw it away. A two-liter has more product for your money. It would probably take longer for one to drink all of it, depending on how thirsty that one might be.
Still the question is why is they such a price difference? Most things that are smaller cost more than the larger quantity. Why? More people will buy the “convenient “ product than bulk or larger quantity.
Every situation is different for every person. Smaller might be better, or the quantity might be better. If you have to pinch pennies then you would go for the one that has the most quantity. If space and time is at hand then you might buy a 20-ounce.
You decide.
