RE: PS. Holy shit those clowns have a nerve, they just plainly admitted that they charged us twice the amount for the product and the whole COVID-inflation was their own made up story.

This is not because of COVID inflation, Coca Cola was always about twice as expensive as local brands, but now they have reduced the price to match one of the more popular local brands.

It was always obvious that coca cola was a massively advertised overpriced product.

Hmm, maybe you are right. Maybe both. Either wayโ€ฆ as you said - something worked if they had to act.
