    So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.

      Or make your own iced tea for even cheaper than the cheapest bottled one and save the plastic waste.

    Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

      What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?

        My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves…

          The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.

    Gom Syrup 50/50 mix sugar (caster is easiest) or honey (don’t hate me France) & boiling water Black tea 2 grams per 8oz water at 70c increase tea a little more if adding ice right away Fruit juice or purée to taste or go Eurobeat and not bother
