At the turn of the Millenium......there were signs...
I have yet to see many if any people buying from the machines after 3 visits.
I have heard a lot of people complain about the price after they walk by the machines.
I heard a complaint today that the machines don't take $5 bills. The person could not buy pop because all they had was large bills. I only wish I was in that situation.

I just wish I had $5!
And.. I STILL cannot believe my brother bought a $3 soda.

ANd the point on Holliday World is that even at the bargin rate of 75 cents for a 20 oz beverage would generate a bunch of revenue and still make them look like gods to all of us consumers. Pop is the easiest of easy money for a park and it shows what Holiday World is about when they let that go.
By the way i think the 3 bucks is highway robery too; but then again it fits into the markets cost range for entertainment venues...

"Civic 145 hp, TransAm 310 hp, coincidence?" TransAm Rules
During a recent shopping trip I found bagged water, in the same section as bagged and boxed juices and an idea flashed through my head about filling a small insulated bag, like the ones they make for baby bottles, with frozen bags of water then I wondered, if you could do water then why not juice? Then get a locker in a somewhat convenient spot, fill it with these frozen drinks and come back throughout the day. But then you have the locker fees so you'd have to really make it worth your while I guess.
But the vending machines have gone down from $3 to $2.50, is that correct? Not that it's any better...but every little bit helps.

Ha....Almost 7 years later and still $3
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Did you really have to make a smart remark about it?
I was going to start a thread on the crazy $3 soda's, and saw this thread and reserected it. Would you rather me start a new one?

I wouldnt be surprised if they raise the prices soon... I have seen places worse than $3 so i say its only a matter of time....
I have never, and never will pay $3 for a soda. It's all about the free water for me when I am at the park.
If the prices of soda were like they are anywhere else, I would buy them. I always buy 2 liter bottles of pop at home, and never pay more than $1.50. I don't understand why the are charging that much for a pop, when they are paying nothing or next to nothing for the pepsi.
There is a differance between making a profit and ripping people off.
