A 2-liter at the grocery store costs about $2, and the store is obviously paying the Pepsi/Coke distributor less than that.

Domino’s sells them for $4.29.

Yep, and that’s why I would only take them up on the offer when I was both really high and really focused on some old movie on TCM (hey, TCM was free on dorm cable).

Mmmm, fond memories of Dominoes, a 2-liter of Dr. Pepper and a joint while watching _Is Paris Burning_ one random night.
