      Not to worry for you see, the ‘single slice of pizza’ you mention is actually a Mega Slice, which is probably at least 3 times bigger than a regular slice.

        I can see the angle and that’s only like 2 times the size of a normal slice and it also looks pretty short compared to the cup and I know american cups are huge but that’s in height not width so comparing it to that that slice looks maybe slightly above average to me nowhere near $4 worth also I just noticed it’s only a medium fizz so it can probably be compared to a large here yeah that pizzas nowhere near as big as you say

            I guess that’s better then but it’s still pretty pricy pizza here is £25 for a large dominos but there’s always some offer for half off so the real price is like £12.50 and that’s ten slices so that’s £3.75 for 3 slices which sort of lines up with that being $4.65 but at the same time our pizzas supposed to be way more expensive than in the US cause your large is apparently $10 and our real price of £12.50 is $15 so I’dve expected it to be like $2.50 then if it’s the size of 3 slices and I don’t know about if it still does in the US but dominos used to do free delivery so considering you’re at the place to buy it and they don’t have to deliver it to you maybe even knock that down to $2 which sort of brings it back to my original gut feeling of what it should cost of $1.50/$2.00 at the upper side but still

              Dominos here hasn’t ever done free delivery AFAIK.

              A $12 pizza delivered is gonna be like $20 after tip and tax

        Restaurant supply stores, online, etc. They’re called “BiBs” or “Bags in Boxes”. Usually $80-100 each. Obviously meant for restaurant use, I don’t recommend buying it yourself you couldn’t make that much soda before it goes bad. But one of those bad boys will make ~120 liters of soda.

        SodaStream has begun selling Pepsi syrups for home use. If they weren’t an Israeli company I’d buy them.

    I’m assuming we’re referencing the absurd price of it? I wouldn’t be caught dead paying that much for a slice of pizza and a drink.

        I live in Wales, lil’ country next to England.

        For some extra context — there is a little family run café down the road from me, that will give you a full English Breakfast for very close to that price.

          Wow, that’s wild to me. I looked at this and thought “not a bad deal, though why would I want soda at breakfast”. A “full breakfast” (not sure what goes into the English part), but something like eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, and pancakes, would be like $12. Coffee another $2.50.
