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.
In: Economics
People don’t know the price of things. So beverage company can charge more for things they aim to label as premium (like mineral water). I’m looking at you Evian or Fiji water.
Although some economy of scale might be involved. You’re much more likely to manage to sell a buttload of coke across the country than some mineral water. Hence you can produce at a lower cost.
Also most likely the water in sodas is just regular tap water. Much cheaper !
That being said people living near famous springs (like Evian) will often have their whole water supply coming from the same source (but not the same plant).
So yes people in Evian, France (it’s indeed the name of the city/location) have « Evian water » in their pipes for tap water, showering, flushing, etc.
