It's a conspiracy

Why the hell is a 600ml bottle of Pepsi Max only $2.50 in the vending machine at work, yet a 600ml bottle of Coke Zero is $2.80?

Yes, Coke Zero is a far superior product, and as such is my favourite carbonated beverage. So an extra 30 cents is potentially not much of a charge for a much more enjoyable drinking experience.

But if I buy one bottle a day every work day, that's an extra $72 per year because the vending machine company has a better deal with Pepsi. And that extra $72 could buy so much. Ummm, like 2 cartons of beer. That would be a worthy investment.

So why am I being punished? Because Jesus hates me. That's why.
