    Regular prices for my location in the US Midwest are around $11 for a 12-pack of Coca-Cola products — that’s twelve 12oz cans. Sales are frequently run for “buy 3 (12-packs), get 3 free”.

    You can get roughly the same per-can sale price by buying flats of 35 cans from warehouse clubs like Costco every day without waiting for a sale, but the warehouse clubs don’t carry every Coca-Cola product, usually just Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite.

    Pepsi products cost roughly the same.

    12oz can is 355ml very close to the 33 cl or 330ml or 1/3 liter in Europe.
    The price you state is almost $1 per can.
    Here (Denmark) we get 1 can for $0.30 when on sale, which they almost always are now, because they've lost sales to local brands.

    When I see people buy these at the cheap, I sometimes comment in a very soft overbearing voice: Nonono we aren't buying American, like gently correcting a small child.

    Edit PS:
    The price in Denmark includes 25% sales tax.

    And how much is it in OPs picture? Is that the price per can, and how much was a can then?

    No, that was price per case. If I'm not mistaken I havent see any change in can size.

    I always thought the bottles of soda were priced even weirder. I remember buying a 20oz bottle for about 2 dollars, or you could buy a 1 liter bottle for about 2 dollars or you could buy a 2 liter for about 2 dollars. But to show that prices are made up and don't really matter, a 1.5 liter bottle was 1 dollar...
