I think the big issue here is, we are analyzing the T & C here, not the verbage on the actual beverage package page. Where the package is still shown, on my end, but the price is missing.
So, we will have to see from ON THE JOB EXPERIENCE! 🙄
That lead me to believe they were going to increase the price. But, one knows that is meaningless with the IT updates.
