Everybody is complaining about the cost of gasoline, and how much prices have gone up, blah blah blah.
What people should be complaining about is the rising cost of a fricking bottle of coke.*
Why is a can of Sprite, like, 75 cents? Why did it just cost me $1.37 for my fucking 20 oz bottle of coke zero? Why is a large coke from McDonald’s two dollars? WTF?
It’s a bunch of chemicals and sugar -- manufacture them in your huge lab/chemical plant, mix them together, and - bam! – there’s your product. Why is the price jumping? It’s not like Pepsi is dependent on the market price of some limited natural resource to manufacture itself. Not even the “sugar” is natural. Where are the Senate Sub-committees on this?
I call bullshit. 
*I'm using the word "coke" in the generic. You can insert any carbonated soft drink into the mix if you want: Pepsi, 7-Up, Mountain Dew, etc.

Drink water instead. It's a lot cheaper ;) (unless you have to buy bottled water. Where I live we have very clean water, so I just drink ordinary tap water).
Blame Arnie! They're geting ready for fat tax :-(( ...
