Zero Sugar... Higher Price...

There are a few things I don't really get in this world, and one thing is the trend of things becoming smaller or lesser while their prices increase.

No, I'm not talking about the Fillet-O-Fish shrinking subtly while the price of it get gets jacked up not-so-subtly. I'm talking about things more ridiculous than that.

I'm talking things like Pepsi Max and Coke Zero. Seriously, they sell more than the original versions, which makes no sense to me. We pay more to get them to NOT add sugar? Why? Without the sugar, the cost would be lower so why are those drinks selling for more? What the fuck's that about? It's like telling consumers that, "Hey, we want people who drink our shit to be healthier and we wanna be socially responsible too, so pay up so that we can make the world a better place!"

Haven't anyone thought that it's strange? People just willingly pay more for the 'healthier' choice. To make matters worse, those shit taste really bad. Why would anyone drink them? Why?

All these complaining is making me thirsty. I'll end here and go have a can of good old normal Coke that tastes better and is cheaper than the shit with no sugar.

End...
