Price of Bottled water.

[FrustratedUser]

I don't understand why people are not complaining about the price and happily pays $1/gallon or more in the case of the small bottles.
Compared to the other popular comodity in the news right now bottled water is WAY overpriced and yet no complaints.

 

[jdini76]

you are not buying 20 gallons of water at a time!

 

[Mickey Eye]

probably because you don't need to buy it to get to work.

you can get cheap bottled water from discount brands, unlike the "other" commodity which is sold by an oligopoly which makes the same high price for everyone and theres jack sh1t u can do about it

I don't buy bottled water, but I do complain about it whenever the woman does.

You don't have to buy bottled water to get to work everyday and there is always the option of the tap.

Water is not a commodity. Oil is. The price of oil is largely determined by one entity: OPEC.

maybe we should start a water cartel and force the Saudi's and other desert dwellers to pony up big time for the tasty h2o

This is why I don't buy bottled water unless tap is unavailable.

Bottled water is a scam.

you really can not compare the two. I do not have to buy bottled water (though in some areas it is a good idea), I do not have to use a gallon or two to get to work and back, Water is free in other places where gas is not.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

because no one is feeding you the line that "supply is short" when everyone knows damn well they can meet the demand without any problem. If there was a bottled water cartel inflating the price, you'd hear b!tching.

 

[rh71]

bottled water is a convenience. gas is a necessity. Not obvious ?

outraged? people pay $5 for a cup of "gourmet coffee".

Bottled water is a luxury item......its not required for everybody to go about their regular tasks. What kinda dumb ass buys bottled water then complains about the price anyways......if you want cheaper bottled water, I can sell you some good stuff.....

Water is not a commodity yet

Fixed.

At least you aren't telling us it would be most cost-effective to purchase a more water-efficient body.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER!
