Here’s something I don’t understand. Soda–for example, Coke–is water with sugar and flavoring added. A regular soda at KFC costs $1.19, which is pretty much highway robbery.

That’s right, water costs MORE than soda, even though soda contains water PLUS other ingredients.
Was there ever a more clear cut example of the fact that prices have nothing to do with the actual cost of an item?
