Given their sales numbers, I’m sure the prices are spot on. The people buying a 500ml bottle of Coke aren’t looking to lug around a 2L bottle, and the people buying a 2L bottle are focused on saving money.
Me, I like cans. They’re about 35¢ apiece. That’s cheap enough to not worry about, and way better than getting a fountain soda at a fast food restaurant.
Market segmentation at its finest!

The problem is the soda goes stale so quickly once opened. My ideal is soda fountain machines, but of course I'm not gonna have one of those in my apartment, so the next best is cans.
