I'm surprised the new one isn't something less than 12 ounces.

A few years back we literally had frito lay vendors come in before store open to reset the chip aisle, all the bag sizes shrank and they credited out the previous size.

I mean we're not buying this stuff any longer but I'm surprised coke seems to be more expensive in the US than it is in Denmark?!?

People drink 64oz of that stuff in a day like it's nothing lol

That's a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).

Weird what happens when 40% of the currency was printed in the last few years.

Are we blaming the government who control interest rates, gamify the CPI to depress inflation, and who control the corresponding new money supply that drives up the price of basic goods?

If housing, gold, and crypto are any indication people have far too much money than they know what to do with. You'd have to be a fool to not accumulate some cantillon effect for yourself when you're government is throwing money away.
