Usually 50-75 cents from a vending machine in Dallas, TX. 50 cents is getting rarer and rarer but you’ll see it occasionally. There are vending machines in front of some of the Super Wal-Marts around here that sell the Wal-Mart house brand for 25 cents a can, and Coke is 45 I think, but they are the exception. A 12-pack is usually $2.99 to $3.99, but occasionally you can get it cheaper on sale at a grocery store. Occasionally you can get a case for $4.99. Kroger house brand cola is $2.99 a case. ---

Supermarket price for a can of Coke in the Netherlands varies between NLG 0.79 (USD 0.32) and NLG 0.99 (USD 0.40). The price in vending machines is usually NLG 1.25 (USD 0.51) and up, though no more than NLG 2.50 (USD 1.02). We’re talking about the 330 ml. cans here. ---

about 10-12 roubles in Moscow for a 330 ml can (~29 roubles/US$, so roughly 35-40 cents) Half-liter bottles of beer are about the same price, though. Guess which I drink more of 😃 ---

Here at work: A can of Coke: free. A bottle of Coke: free. Coke from a fountain: free. Frozen Coke: free. A Coke float in the cafeteria: I pay for the ice cream, the Coke = free. ---

I’ll just say that, IF I wanted a can of Coke, it’d run about 60 cents. All things considered, I’d rather have Mountain Dew. Either that, or save 3 cans of Coke’s worth of money and buy a gallon of gas. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-does-a-can-of-coca-cola-cost-you/62758.md?page=2)
