      I thought it was per liter and moved on to the comments but I now realize that that would’ve been even worse. Don’t really know what I was thinking, I can be stupid at times

      The Danish krona is actually pegged to the euro, so you are half right 🙂

    Just some context: Lidl has this sort of campaign going on for years as of to promote their own store brands - other markets here do that too. They do the same with showing a shopping cart consisting of store brands vs brand products and on how much money u can save.

    Maybe they can use the current momentum to push this campaign more …

          It’s also a noticeably bigger price delta than the one between store-brand cola and Pepsi (or Coke) here in the States. When I was at the store yesterday a store-brand 2 liter bottle was $1, while name-brands were $2.50.

      I believe that would be the regular price.

      I’m a little fuzzy on it as I don’t drink “pop” regularly.

    Just Saying:

    Even if Lidl is not a monopoly it is currently, it will become one if we let it. Just think about it:

    • they control a lot of stores
    • it is still controlled by a very rich man
    • they will soon push out many independent products for their own

    Even if we can’t outlaw making a profit from the means of production, we should at least make all critical infrastructure (like supermarkets) be owned by a in German we call them „Förderkreis” with an ethics committee where the people working there and others associated with it can democratically vote about any and all changes.

    I don’t drink soda these days but from past experiences I see the real crime here is that they are comparing it to Pepsi and not Coke 😂

      Coca Cola Zero is awful. Most people I know, that drink sugar free, drink Pepsi Max.

        I almost like coke zero more than regular coke, same goes for quite a few that I know in person. Must be a regional thing?

          So far, the only soda I’ve found where the sugar-free version is the same or better than the regular version is Big K [Kroger store brand] grapefruit citrus soda. I literally can’t taste the difference between the sugar-free and regular versions at all.

          Coke Zero comes pretty close, though, and I’ve never tried Pepsi Max.

        Coke Zero did a major flavor change a few years ago (same time they changed to logo to a primarily red bittle with black text instead of the opposite), and I actually really like it now.

          Same. I used to only like diet coke, but that’s not a thing here in Japan. Interestingly, when I went back to the US, I couldn’t stand regular nor diet; there was something really weird and chemically going on there).

    I don’t understand why we seek to be better in this kind of files (bad food, stupidly sugared beverage)

    It’s not like a national pride

    I wish it was still called Max over here. The design was cooler back at the very beginning, but “max” still sounds cooler than “zero sugar”. I understand why it changed for marketing, but I still think it’s way less cool sounding and as extra syllables when I mention it.

    Neither, this is a ton of colored sugar in water, not healthy in any way. 🤷‍♂️
