Kris Fade Is Calling Out The Insane Price Of Fizzy Drinks And The Post Has Drawn A Huge Response

When you go to a supermarket you expect to pay about AED3 for a can of Pepsi…max!

When you go to a bar, a nightclub or a show, you can expect to pay a bit more, but these prices REALLY take the biscuit.

Kris Fade went to a show this week and he was left utterly shocked at the price of soft drinks. He said the tickets for the show itself cost under AED200, but to be asked to pay this much for a soda was ridiculous.

AED29 for a can of fizzy, is this for real?!

An image of the drinks menu was posted on the Kris Fade Show Instagram account on Monday morning and it’s drawn a pretty mixed reaction

While others suggested these prices will discourage drinking unhealthy soda

An excise tax was introduced on October 1, 2017. This included a 50% tax on sugary drinks and a 100% tax on tobacco and energy drinks – dubbed a ‘health tax’ at the time.

With taxes or without, some commenters are expecting gold sprinkles at these prices
