If you show me someone who buys coke at twice the price because they don’t like Pepsi I’ll show you a fucking moron.

Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

People routinely buy Pepsi|Coke at twice the price of off-brands and I wouldn't call them moronic.

You mean the price of Coke and Pepsi vs Big Shot cola?

I would prefer buying nothing at all vs dunkin donuts. I guess I would pay double for Krispy Kreme because to me we are talking about something I want vs something I never want even for free(Dunkin).

I won't pay twice the price (disregarding that the restaurant price is probably already twice the price of getting it at Costco), but I may just grab a water.

FWIW I think fountain soda costs less than $0.25 a serving, the restaurant markup on soda is way bigger than most people realize
