I was complaining recently how the grocery store had 15 types of wine and three types of cola. Glad to see this and I am pretty sure Coke has done the same thing. You have to go to smaller groceries to get better quality colas in glass bottles with cane sugar...

This is just one example why people should stop claiming the "free market" will fix things. Monopolies don't play fair. Without regulations, they always rig things in their own favor at everyone else's expense.

the FTC has better go after walmart next they demand cheaper pricing for brands to get in their stores, forcing brands to charge smaller store more to make up the difference pay-to-play is a real thing in some grocery chains

😂 people on TikTok are eating and telling others to eat a full tub of butter everyday claiming it’s healthy for your HEART 🫥. Tons of people are still drinking soda. I promise you. There is a fat positivity movement all over sm that promotes overeating. Lots of soda is involved. 🤢😵‍💫.

So when will every grocery store get put on the chopping block?? Because I’m still flabbergasted at the fact that Walmart is just as expensive as Whole Foods. The FTC is just suing people for shits and giggles at this point. If you’re going to crack down on one crack down on the system as a whole.

lol, NRP you are not even trying anymore with reporting news. *yawn* - another downfall of what was once a reputable news source, now pretty much as tabloid and opinion as the National Enquirer. So sad.
