Coca Cola - as expensive as petrol

(illustrated 2 litre bottles)

Coca Cola sells in 2 litre bottles for approx $2.50 or $1.25 per litre in this kind of packaging.

Depending on location in Australia, petrol prices can vary significantly.
If we take the price of $1.50 per litre, without the government tax, Coca cola IS more expensive than petrol. This has usually been the case over the years.

When one puts into perspective of what refining process is needed to create petrol from crude oil, one can appreciate the magnitude of Coca Colas profits.

Sadly these products will exist as long as the 'cattle'* will buy them, as portrayed in a racist comedy sketch by Jackie Mason - J ews and Gentiles.

* a term used to describe people of non-J ewish origin.

Coca Cola as healthy for you as petrol.
