You might notice Pepsi and Coke cost something like $7 a case of 24 and the reason is $8 corn.  Of course the news was very responsive to consumers and told that story over and over.  However for some reason the Coke and Pepsi WITHOUT any corn sugar, commonly known as diet Pepsi or diet Coke went up the same and it too cost $7 a case.  While corn struggles to reach $4 now Coke and Pepsi continue at $7 a case.

Oh and then there was fuel prices that were close to $4 and were responsible for an added fuel cost on things such as garbage pickup, deliveries and concrete, but now that prices for fuel have dropped the extra charge hasn't disappeared.
