Seriously, who does the math on these things

  1. What happens if you do buy two at once?

    Normally when there is a “buy three pay for two” or “buy one get one half price” they bill the items separately, and then take off the discount after the qualifying one.

    Do they bill 2 @ £1.55 then *add* 10p? or just bill two for £3.10?

  2. Quite clever actually, see energy drinks are bad for you, this offer is to make sure you buy one!!

  3. It’s a 10p tax to pay for therapy to deal with the rage induced by incorrect grammar regarding plurals.

  4. It’s ANY two, there’s probably a more expensive one in the shelf that would then save you money.

  5. It’s a mix and match offer. There are other drinks that are more expensive to make it an actual saving.

  6. mathS. not math. maths, short for mathematicS. And it’s arithmetic if we’re going to be really pernickity.

  7. It’s because there will be multiple items in the offer, and those other items probably cost a lot more.

  8. Wait until you see the expression on the cashiers face when you say you want to buy each tin separately

  9. It says ANY 2 for £3.20, so I’m guessing there are other drinks in the offer that are more expensive.

  10. To be fair, monsters range from ~£1.55 to ~1.65, so it does work out cheaper depending on what you get
