The Cheesecake Factory is supposed to offer free refills on fountain beverages, according to Cheapism. The price of soda has inflated, leading to commercial price increases.

The habit gets a new name.
Overpriced sodas are now a thing. The Cheesecake Factory charges $9.90 for two Diet Cokes. That’s more than what you’d pay at an airport. Soft drinks can be the most profitable aspect of a restaurant. Shrinkflation is real, and it’s not just the Cheesecake Factory. Soda prices have doubled since 2020. And it costs them about 5 cents.
