    Nitpickery aside, you're also wrong. I know it must be amazing to think that American English isn't the only sort of English out there, but there are many others, among them the English spoken in a little place called Britain. One of the countries there is even called England! It's the strangest thing...

    The exchange rate's similar right now but there are a ton of variables to take into account, such as tax and the cost of shipping products to the country in the first place (may not apply to Coke though) as well as bit of good ol' fashioned price gouging just to be on the safe side. Pretty much the same reason we have to pay the equivalent of $80-90 USD for a $50 USD game over here. Three times the price for a pack of cigarettes is insane, though. Not sure what the tobacco laws are like in Australia but I would wager a lot of that increase is the result of tax and/or import duty.

    Also forgot to put that america has how many companies making soda?
    Basic supply and demand is a major factor here, we have like 5 major soda comapnies if that.

    How many American companies make soda? I am thinking very few. The pop companies have an oligopoly. No one would dare enter that market.

    Allllllll righty then....

    Waaaayyy off the beaten track, now, aren't we all? My brother has a wife and two kids to take care of, and he's living in a trailer park while making $8 an hour? That's Florida for ya. It ain't his money management skills to blame. I don't live there, myself, because I just moved to Santa Fe a few months ago and left a couple boxes there, mostly CDs and PSX games.

    There's an evil monkey in my closet!!
