Too much like advertising. Don’t give away what we can sell!

The snacks site asks for a zip code up front. I wonder if that changes what products they will ship?

  I'd wager it changes the prices -- PepsiCo stamps the price of the product on the package when they stock grocery shelves. Grocery stores probably won't take kindly to their supplier undercutting them with cheaper direct-to-consumer pricing.

Hm, a 1-serving bag of baked lays for $1.89, and no larger bag sizes available? No thanks. I’m sure there’s a shipping charge on top of that.

    Good to know. Still a hard pass based on the per-unit pricing.

With all the hate being lobbed at sodas in this thread it's pretty disappointing that they don't actually sell soda. I rarely eat sweets or have dessert after a meal. Pretty much the only thing I consume that's actually sweet with added sugar is a soda here and there. I find the sugar lite and sugar free alternatives like La Croix and diet coke to just be disgusting and would rather just consume water when I attend some tech event and the host thinks they're doing the attendees a favor by only offering "healthy alternatives". Without a car soda is pretty much the most annoying grocery item to get. Two liters are pretty much impossible to consume before they go flat unless you drink way too much soda already so only individually packaged sodas make sense to buy. But they are extremely bulky and you pretty much have no room for other groceries. Online they tend to go for nearly twice the price as the grocery store and they have less flavors. Also the only time I've ever had a delivery cancelled because of a shipping problem is because the sodas weren't packaged correctly and ruined a package. This happened a few times before I realised how badly I was getting ripped off. Buying soda at cost from the manufacturer that actually specializes in soda logistics would have been amazing.

  Try SodaStream. You can buy Coke/Pepsi pop syrups and use those instead of the SodaStream ones. Coke/Pepsi won't sell you syrup direct but there are other vendors.
