$86 for enough syrup to make 76 odd litres of coke....
starts researching home postmix
$1.13 a litre doesn't seem cheap.
Cheaper than petrol these days
How much is a litre of branded coke where you are?
I don't think syrup vs supermarket bottle is a fair comparison. I buy cordial for a few bucks that makes ten litres. I only get coke at HJs when hungover. If you're regularly smashing high priced bottles of branded coke then maybe the $1.13 a litre is still good value to you.
...yes, i am talking about myself that's why i was talking about postmix for my house.
This conversation is being very weird
and then there is the cost of aerating
??? C02 is cheap as. Especially if you have bottles already for the kegerator
I was thinking of soda stream cannisters , those are spenny
Yeah those have an insane markup. You can get a 2.5kg swap bottle for about $30-$35
By comparison a standard "60l" soda stream canister holds around 400g
