There are also 1 litre bottles that I almost never buy, especially because of something I am going to explain. A large bottle costs EXACTLY AS MUCH as a small bottle. That isn't the worst, though. The worst is that I've actually seen people buying the small bottles.

That's nothing. In my town, it is possible to, at the same store, buy a 20 OZ bottle of soda for the exact same price as a 2 LITER bottle of soda and people STILL buy the 20 oz bottles. Sometimes people sacrifice money just because they can't drink that much pop, but me, if I buy pop, I usually get the 2 liters and just drink a little at a time. But of course, I'm a spend thrift, so that just might be me.
