Just As I Thought

I wonder how much it would cost with ice?

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.
A bottle of water–not spring water or anything fancy, just Coke’s bottled water–costs $1.49.
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?

  • And the same size soda at your local theater will cost $3.00. Which is why the concession stand is the profit center of a theater, not the tickets. Going to the movies in the winter is cheaper for me because I can carry snacks in the big pockets of my coat. grin
