Assuming this is an inflation problem, you can use the consumer price index (CPI) to estimate.

The CPI is a measure of consumer prices compared to a base year value, usually the price in 1982.

CPIn / 100 = (Price in year n / Price in 1982)

The CPI for 2010 is ~218. The CPI for 1995 is ~152. The CPI for 1982 is 100 by definition (hence why we divide the CPI by 100). A 2L of coke is approximately $2.25 from a cursory search over the internet. Therefore

2.18 = (2.25 / price in 1982)

Price in 1982 = 1.03

1.52 = (price in 1995 / 1.03)

$1.56 = Price in 1995

CPI are published by the department of labor and are available at ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt

How much mass is in one-liter bottle of soda?

The mass of a one-liter bottle of soda typically ranges from about 1 to 1.5 kilograms, depending on the specific beverage and its ingredients. Most of the mass comes from the liquid itself, which is primarily water. Additionally, the weight of the bottle and any carbonation can slightly affect the total mass. Therefore, if you consider just the liquid, it would be close to 1 kilogram for one liter of soda.
