    Because when you're out for the day carrying a 2 litre bottle around is a tad impractical I should imagine.

    With cans/500ml bottles, you're paying for the convenience more than anything else.

    People know how to carry stuff in a backpack. Put the 2 ltr bottle there. Not very mse to waste money on 500ml and cans of coke when its cheaper getting the full 2 lts for a few extra silver. lol

    Me too, I stop off at the supermarket beforehand for sweets too & I hate those plastic hotdog things people have that smell like hog anus.
    I do hope you're telling the truth?
