Marks and euros are of course always difficult to compare... But if I start from the "classic" conversion factor of €1 = 2 marks, then at first glance the prices haven't actually exploded as much as you might think.
If you take a liter of cola for 1.59 marks, then with a targeted inflation rate of 2% per year, it should now cost 2.82 marks, which would be 1.40€ with the assumed conversion factor... Find prices between 10€ (offer) and 17€ (upper level) for a 12 liter crate of cola.
With an average price of €13.50, we would then be at €1.12 per liter...
But that's just an example, that's all I've looked at. The geramont, for example, doesn't seem to me to have become disproportionately more expensive.

Coke didn't get the awesome increase either.
Look at other foods. Lettuce, for example.
A few years ago it was okay, but at the moment you really pay a lot for it.
There are some foods that remain at roughly the same price level. I think drinks usually fall below that. You won't pay much more for water or beer than you used to.

No question, some things have exploded in the last few years... Yoghurt, skyr, sliced sausage, things like that have become really expensive...
Beer really is such a phenomenon, it felt like a crate cost 20 marks back in the 80s, maybe it was the 90s too, I was still too young to drink beer then... 😄
If you don't buy at the regular price now, but on offer, you still pay 10-11 euros for a crate of branded beer.
And I mean over 70 percent of beer sales are at special offer prices.
Prices have really exploded in various bakeries. Today I bought a sesame and minced meat roll with a limp lettuce leaf on top. No butter, but wafer-thinly spread margarine, no fresh mince, but onion mince. First she charged me 90 cents for the bread roll separately and an outrageous 2.60 euros for the topping, i.e. the minced meat. In other words, almost 7 marks for a poplar sandwich. Unbelievable, really. With a pretzel corner, which cost 1.80 euros, I was over 10 marks in total. Now imagine shopping there for the whole family.
Beer has become comparatively very expensive in the last 3-4 years. Anyone who hasn't noticed this is drinking too little . You can't start from the special offer price, which is sometimes available here and sometimes there, but from the regular normal price. Roughly pi times thumb (is that how you spell it?) around an 80% increase. Incidentally, my can of youth called Adelskrone (0.5) cost 39 pfennigs in the 90s, now 55 cents. Increase x3. Stößchen.
