About coca-cola
Coca-Cola is sold in more countries than almost any other branded product, which makes it a useful yardstick, though a noisy one. The same can costs very different amounts in a supermarket, a corner shop and a hotel minibar, and Coca-Cola deliberately prices to the local market rather than converting a single global price.
Where Norway sits
Of the 33 countries priced for coca-cola, Norway ranks #4 from the top at $2.18, 1.6× the median of $1.37.
Norway is an oil exporter with some of the most expensive petrol in the world, which is not a contradiction: fuel is heavily taxed as climate policy, and the revenue funds the sovereign wealth fund. Food is expensive too, protected by high agricultural tariffs. VAT is 25%, among the highest anywhere, though food is charged at a reduced 15%, which is still higher than the standard rate of several countries in this table. Norway is where the two halves of this dataset diverge most: it has the resources to be a cheap place to drive and has deliberately chosen not to be.
