This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Just did a quick look in Alberta, Canada. Best price I could find was $26.99/15, or $1.80/can. That converts to €1.11 per can.
Cans are 355ml though, instead of the German 330ml.
EDIT Cans in the US are probably 355ml as well. If they were scaled down to 330ml, the price would be...
€0.75. Same as Germany.
330ml would be €1.03 in your example.
Also, as far as I know Germany already has the sales tax included in the retail prices that are shown.
Oh wow, good catch - I always assumed the 330ml was 12oz, never actually checked.
I don't know how Canada does taxes in advertised peicing, but if you were looking up USA pricing, make sure to calculate the tax into it, because the advertised price in that german grocery is including taxes.
In Alberta there's 5% GST added (not included in the advertised price)
