Hi Dark, Yikes! The cost of soda does seem extremely high over in the UK. I can't even begin to think of a place where anyone would have to pay those sorts of prices for a 2-liter. Even if I could name a few I know nobody in the US would pay those kinds of prices unless the price of soda went up everywhere.
With that in mind its not hard to figure out why there is a price difference. The main one being is the two major soda companies, Coca Cola and Pepsi, are both American owned and operated companies. They are produced and bottled here in the US. Therefore the UK would be a foreign market and there are doubtless extra costs in involved in exporting it to the UK that wouldn't be involved in shipping it to American supermarkets and other distributors. Cheers!
