if all you can carry is a 20oz then the companies making the prodcut will try and get every cent out of you as possible. its inpracticle to walk around with a 2 liter and the companies know that. typically you buy a 2 liter bottle for use at home to be poured into glasses, where the 20oz is made for on the go; no need for a cup. Its just the companies trying to get more money out of you just because you want something that you can carry and walk around with.

The soda companys are just going with the money coming in. Like you say the 2 liters are always on sale but the 20oz. are just convenient. You more than likely go for the convenience and not the price.

20oz. sodas are usually kept in refrigerators. The refrigeration adds to the cost. You can get 6-packs of bottles in the regular soda aisle that are much more bang for your buck. Also when cans are on sale 4/$10 or less, they're pretty comparable to buying a 2 liter. I did the math.

it is a cultural distinction. some international places' products have the two synthetic date and expiration date imprinted on the packaging. some international places in basic terms have expiration date revealed. and a few international places alongside with China - as you pronounced, have in basic terms manufacture dates revealed. Getting conscious of yet another u . s . a .'s subculture may well be frustrating. indexed under are some words it is quite useful to verify whilst observing China's products somewhat nutrition /consumables: ? - month ? - 12 months ???? - production date ??? - shelf existence e.g. ???? : 2009/12/31 ??? : 12?? (the "up" arrow sign denotes quantity, right here being the variety of months, based on the producer, they could the two use 12 months or a million 12 months , whichever they like) *so the above occasion ability the product is desperate to run out a million 12 months after its production date, which might probable be on 2010/12/31

Your paying for the refrigeration, If your drinking a soda going down the road buy your soda and refrigerate it for the week. Compare the cost of a six pack of 20 oz soda usually two dollars versus six for 1.29 it's a no brainer.

That's precisely their marketing strategy - you will buy the more expensive one to travel with or tote along with you. Or, do as our family does - just transfer the pop from the 2 liter into a clean smaller bottle and cap tight!

I think it's because the 2 liter doesn't sell as well; it goes flat faster. By the way, do you know if they still make Vanilla Coke?

That is exactly why they are hardly never on sale. Because to cola companies know that out of convienience, your gonna buy the smaller one.
