“I never understood why Costo was always more expensive than the almost always on sale price of soda at the local supermarket.”

Yep. Agreed. You must be a shopper ;)

2.5 Liters of Shasta for $.99 at Stater Bros markets.

Fizzy sugar water is fizzy sugar water. I’ll never understand paying $1.39 for 2.0 Liters just because the bottle says Coca Cola on it.

I am something of a carbonated beverage connoisseur (along with steak and chicken wings). There is a difference in the name brand and the cheap stuff. But, I put away about a 24-pack a week ... people who don’t drink quite as much as me may not be able to tell. If you can’t tell the difference ... definitely go with the cheap stuff.

You mean “fizzy high fructose corn syrup water”. Costco (and numerous smaller markets) sell the only really good Coca Cola version that is bottled in Mexico with cane sugar. It’s just good. I’m not really

Not so. Pepsi and Coke taste radically different, as do name brands and store brands. Fortunately I'm not a Coke addict, but I can't even tolerate the taste of Pepsi.
