Question

Why are smaller 8 ounce cans/bottles of soda often more expensive than larger 12 ounce ones?

Answer 1

Simple demand (or more properly, lack of demand).. . Since few people want the 8 ounce size, they sell less so must make more per unit sold. If they can't make enough to make it worth their while, they will simply quit making the smaller size altogether.

Answer 2

Be cuse the 8 ounce is soo cute. . . and more importanly because people are willing to pay it.

Answer 3

It has to do with the cost to produce the bottles, and that there is more demand for the 12oz/12packs.

Answer 4

I dont know where you are shopping, they always have sales on soda in bulk at all the popular supermarkets!

Stop buying soda.
