Too right. Go to Tesco and see what they are charging for a bottle of
white label cola. 15p? Forget the contents: that price is made up of
profit, bottle, filling and labelling, transport and handling. Except
for the profit, these costs are the same for a bottle of the real thing,
89p?, whose contents can only cost pence at most. Which leaves a very
nice additional margin to be shared between Coca-Cola and the retailer.


A few year ago, when working in a can making factory, that the complete can
cost about 1p and the contents cost about 0.01p.
