No more 1 dirham pepsi

Prices of soft drinks have gone by 50 fils at many places in Dubai since Wednesday. Groceries and cafeterias are selling a can of soft drink for Dhs 1.50.

I predicted this. Too bad I didn't tell anyone but myself -- does nothing for my pundithood.

Also look for the candy bars in vending machines to get smaller -- or has that happened already?

A few years ago bottled water in the vending machines got smaller instead of there being a change in the coins you had to dig out of your pocket. Did you notice?

It's not so easy to change the size of cans.

Mise - Bebsi has been 1 Dh in the UAE since I was born sometime in the 1970's : )

ah such end of the 1Dh Bebi era - so sad - oh well it is what it is.

Hey u can still get shawarmas for 2dhs in Ajman - that hasn't changed since the 70's : )
