UK wise, I went to get a can of coke from a cafe the other day and they wanted £2.20 for it. Decided water would be better and cheaper, and that was £2.80 (for a small bottle). Was a big nope from me.

Yeah water and soft drink prices are quite ridiculous. Used to be if someone wasn't drinking in a pub they could have a coke or lime and soda for hardly anything but a lot of places charge almost as much as a pint now

The commodification of water is also quite outrageous. It must cost pennies to produce originally and the vendors must pay hardly anything for it but then they charge a fortune
