eli5 why bottled water costs more than lemonade?

Question

I see lemonade on shelves costing half the price of bottled water. I imagine that a 10 per cent sugary solution is still 90 per cent water, but costs (some times) half as much.

Answer 1

In Australia, bottled water costs 80 cents vs any other drink costing 3.50. If a country as overpriced as Australia can do it, I believe USA, and any other developed country should do the same too.
