Prices of soft drinks at pubs and restaurants.

Often around £4 now for a pint of on-tap coke at the bar, or the self-service machines at the likes of Nandos or FiveGuys.

Those mixes cost the vendor *pennies* a serve.

I had to have a tooth extracted a couple of years ago.. There are so many things they leave out when giving you after care advice, presumably in the hope you have to come back again at god knows how much a pop.

The vendor that has to pay

Crippling Utilities - still around 10p p kwh ahead of price before Putins war.
Minimum wage rise
Price of Chefs post COVID
Employer National Insurance
Higher cost of all food stuffs and deals needed to bring you in.

A bag in box that costs £44.99 makes 45 litres of coke. thats around 75 drinks = 59p per coke. Not exactly pennies when .67p comes off in VAT. Its around an 82% GP which is high compared to draught beer but if you think about it how do you think Spoons actually make any money??!!!

I'm not a consumer of carbonated sugar, but even I know you don't need a chef to make a customer a Coke
