Question

How come a 2 liter bottle of pop is cheaper than a 24 ounce one?

Answer 1

Usually you can get more for your money when the product is in bulk.

Answer 2

Not sure where you are but at the gas station the little ones are $1.29 and the 2 liters are $1.79.

Grocery stores - yeah they are cheaper.

The little ones are more for convenience to carry with you and you must pay for the convenience is why.

Would be funny if you carried around a 2 liter, LOL  

Answer 3

coz the stupid guys at the big companies can't be bothered to check their prices

Answer 4

it's a matter of simple economics.  Supply and demand, along with cost to bottle the product.  For example, if you have to bottle 20 liters of pepsi, you can bottle it in 10 2 liter bottles, or about 57 24 ounce bottles.  The average bottling cost is much higher for the 24 ounce bottle.  Now, the supply and demand part..... the greater the demand, the higher the price.  There are simply a lot more units of 24 ounce drinks sold than 2 liter drinks, thus, demand a higher price.

Answer 5

I think it's because... if you just have a few people drinking a 2 liter bottle and it sits out for like a day, it goes flat. It just doesn't last as long unless you're planning to kill it in one sitting.
