Interestingly enough, most convenience stores/gas stations in the US will sell you a cold soft drink for around 1.39$ for 20oz (600ml). Yet in the same store, you can buy a 2L bottle (not cold mind you) for 0.99$. Where's the logic?

Refillable bottles are quite "green" but it's a lot more effort + cost for the beverage companies.
