I just spend $4.75 on sprite at a steak house

[Anonymous]

I’m just curious if anyone else has seen such high prices on soft drinks at a restaurant outside a sports game or airport. We were a party of 4 and spending $19 on soda hurt.

I think around $4 is pretty standard now - I would not be surprised to see $4.75, but it is a rip off.

sounds normal. It's now $15 at a movie for a large

I alway drink water at restaurants. Drinks are the biggest rip off. That’s almost $20 for drinks. That’s not even alcohol.

Yes, I noticed this about two years ago, close to $4 for a coke at a Millers Ale House. I was appalled. I decided then to just drink water at restaurants. I actually bring an insulated 24 oz drink cup with me with iced tea in it, leave it in the car and drink it after I leave the restaurant. I'm not paying that kind of money for a coke.

Yes, soft drinks have been a ripoff for decades. And, you are right! When you multiply the drink across a family, it’s easily $20 or so, just on drinks.

Agree too high but why do this to yourself? Either don't go or buy what you want. This kind of halfway stuff is stupid.

Drinks have always been the stupid tax at restaurants.

I mostly don't go. Everything is cheaper and tastes better at home.

I don’t drink or purchase soda, but someone posted the price of a 2 liter bottle and it was pretty $$.

Welcome to the middle class, we sometimes go out to restaurants without buying every appetizer, drink, and dessert we want.

We used to buy sodas as a treat, but not anymore. They’re expensive and we are a water only table now.

I agree OP, it's nuts. I'd rather spend another $2-3 and get a beer.

For $4.75 it better contain vodka.
