Difficulty understanding the underlying meaning of messages is a sign of being somewhere on the autism spectrum.

2$ for a can of soda where the fuck is this?

Not that user, but water is what you want to drink to rehydrate, not soda. While you could read it as being passive aggressive, it's also factually correct.

if you're thirsty you drink water, how can you be pretentious with the logical solution?

Are you retarded?

Long term effects not short term you wont see problems till later in life.

Maybe, i never tought of long term diseases. Thanks user.

The entire point of that post was about water, not sugar. As in, "I'm thirsty and want something hydrating" - it said nothing positive or negative about consuming sugar.

>not drinking coffee all the time
Bunch of fagots, all of you.

Australia, everything is more expensive here. That $2 works out to be 1.48 USD.

Keep in mind our minimum wage is about $17.80 per hour.

Wow the meme about americans is real. I didn't realise that you consider water after exhausting all other high fructose corn syrup options.

Just wow.

>$17.80
Aussie dollars, not US dollars

Correct

>one person
>Americans

Just wow.

What country are you in?
I most of the first world countries, restaurants and food-serving places are legally required to let you have water for free.

If you paid attention OP, the water is a bottle and the soda is cans

Cans cost less than bottles

But the content of the bottle costs far less than that of the can

Even with the price of the bottle it should still be about 50c, not $3

I drink water but I'm better than you for other reasons

the cans are 375 ml for 2 $, the water is 600 ml for 3 $. means you still get more water than soda per dollar. nice try, but still weak bait

>pretentious assholes who just want to feel better than other people
but i am better than other people?

>not believing you're better than other people

Your cans are sold in 375ml?

I thought 330ml was standard?

375ml has always been standard here

It costs more to produce the bottle of water than it does the bottle of Coke because of economies of scale and the relationship between supply and demand. Take an Econ class.

Are they like Foster's cans?

No idea, nobody here drinks fosters. The only one time I've ever drunk it was when I was on holiday in the UK.

But I assume they are 375ml, the majority of other beer sold in cans here are.

This is true, but theyre not required to give you brand name bottled water, only tap water. They could technically offer tap water but make you pay for a bottle of a specific brand.

Oh, I didn't mean bottled water.
If they have water taps (which all of them do) and cups (which they more than likely will), then they aren't allowed to turn you down.

Australia

As far as I know here, only places serving alcohol are required to provide free tap water. If you go to a Cafe or restaurant that doesn't sell booze you're shit outta luck and have to pay $4 for a bottle of Mt Franklin

However I should add that 90% of restaurants will bring out glass jugs of cold tap water for free a few mins after you sit down.

man children who need a cold sody pop now will pay a premium

it triggers me when restaurants give out bitch sized glasses of water.

I am a grown ass man and you can give me a man sized glass of water or you can deal with refilling my water 4 times a night

That's weird man, the standard for beers in the UK is 440ml and they're typically sold in 4, 8, 12 or 20 packs.

You can find 500ml cans though.

We have some beers in 440ml cans but they aren't very popular. There are bottles that are 330ml and smaller but 95% of tinnies are 375ml.

Bottles and cans are sold in 6 packs or by the carton (24). Nothing in between.

Premix spirits are usually sold in 4 packs, occasionally 6 packs.

Very interesting. Do you have any further details to provide? Any tiny piece of information on this subject would be most fascinating.

>water is free
naw im just stingy

I thought it was the norm for bottled water to be a fucking rip off in first world countries. As opposed to other places where you need to drink bottled water because the local tap water will give you kidney stones or shingles or something, so of course they'd make it cheap, in the West tap water should actually be drinkable so bottled water is a luxury or for people too lazy to fill a water bottle at home.

>3 different coke buttons
>not one of them for cherry coke
>those prices

sucks to be australian

No sorry, that's all I've got

We had cherry and vanilla coke here about 10 years ago but I haven't seen it since. Apparently vanilla coke is still available at some weird small little independent supermarkets.

Taco cuck here, water is free. but we don't have bottled water, only filtered water. Pro tip: it's usually cheaper to order what you want outside of the combo if you're going to have water or don't want a drink, since it's free.

Are you an ozziefag?

Yes, have you read any posts in this thread, cuntbag?

Oi cunt giv us ya loita

>weird small independent supermarkets

Like fuckin 7/11? Shit's everywhere.

>tfw fresh tank water
Everything else tastes gross.

Stop memeing you fuck
Water is a million times better than the liquid jew
Taste and health

I drink water out of a garden hose

Not my 7/11s in my city and none of them sell it. 7/11 is mainstream, I am talking about independents not fucking corporations you cuck

Me too on a hot day. Dat taste m8

Not many 7/11s in my city is what I was trying to say

>drink water because I prefer it over soda
>not really interested in sweet/carbonated stuff and it doesn't quench my thirst and couldn't give a rats ass what others drink
>makes me pretentious
>water
>pretentious
>WATER
What a time to be alive.

In a lot of third world countries, soda is easier and cheaper to find than clean water. In America, all water that flows from an indoor tap must be potable unless otherwise marked. I'm not sure you know what you're taking about.

As you are an American without a passport, I don't think you really know what you're taking about.

There's a difference between drinking regular tap water and bottled water.

Yeah. A massive difference in price. And perhaps the convenience of having it in a bottle (which is kinda moot since you can always bring your own container to fill from the tap)

The majority of bottled water literally is tap water. In the US the source of the water is required to be on the label by law. The vast majority of them will say something like "Source: Municipal water from X". That's literally tap water. You just pay 4,000% more for it. And in some states the laws regarding the purity of tap water are actually stricter than those for bottled water.

>Literally the only healthy thing the body absolutely needs to survive
>Look at those pretentious people mom, they're drinking water and triggering my insecurities

Literally fuck off

>why allowed

Idiots.

and Flint Michigan?

You're on Veeky Forums. You're better than nobody.

you're on earth. you're better than nobody from that perspective as well. but you wont catch human beings thinking that shit. nop. gotta be the best.

they have both coke and pepsi with real sugar in america

soda is terrible for you and you should drink fresh iced tea or water tho

You're paying for the convenience of having it cold right this second.

They raised their prices and people still paid $2 for a can, so they stayed that way. It's just capitalism.

You shouldn't even be drinking soda anyway.

but if your actually thirsty and want water instead of soda cause water actually quenches your thrist.
Not saying no one should ever drink soda but it is kind of a stupid idea if your real thirsty potentially a bit dehydrated to reach for a soda over water

no, it's tourists that shouldn't drink tap water. locals are used to it

>i've gotten sick from tap water in fucking Canada.

It's 375 in Australia, 330 in Europe, and 355 in the US.

Welcome to the New World Order friend.

That guy you think who is "baiting" or "being retarded" in this thread is a NWO shill. You either drink the poisonous Coke or you're a pretentious autist, water is a privilege. You'll see more of them and more of these arguments soon.

non of the products on that vending machine contain sugar

Some places have better tap water than others. Even if it is just tap water sometimes I don't wanna drink my own. Ever had Florida tap water? Literally tastes like swamp.

because according to the machine, the coke is $2 for 375 mL, the water is $3 for 600 mL, that's nearly double the product

Soda does quench your thirst. The idea that it dehydrates is a myth.

Caffeinated soda does have a diuretic effect, but the water content far outweighs that. It's been found that even for coffee the water content is enough to provide net positive hydration. Regardless, not every soda is caffeinated and the sugar doesn't dehydrate as you've been told.

sugar required Hydrolysis to be processed by your body so it does take some water from your body to process all 60 grams of sugar in the average soft drink.

Plus are you listed there is a diuretic effect that is caused by caffeinated sodas

Which therefore makes water a much more efficient quencher. you drink 12 oz you get 12 oz of water and 0 calories

You sound like a soda industry shill you have no studies to prove your claim yet sit back and say "there is no reason people can't get their daily hydration needs from soda"

All of them contain cane sugar except the water you dumb cunt

Live in miami it's not half bad senpai idk about you.

I like to hydrate myself properly you pretentious ass hat.

I can't be bothered to read the 70+ replies, but it's very simple: people who want to be healthy and make healthy choices will pay extra to do so.

The "organic" market noticed this, and exploited it, and now this vending machine company is exploiting it.

>there is no reason people can't get their daily hydration needs from soda
wait,
but that's objectively true

is water a better choice?
yes, no-one is arguing that

but soda is not fucking seawater, you will not drop dead due to dehydration if you down a bottle of fucking coke because you are thirsty

Are you like new to this world senpai?

Bottled water is a necessity in countries with non potable tap water. As opposed to developed countries, where it's a commodity.

>go to convenience store
>fill a cup with ice and water from the little lever on the side of the lemonade button
>they still charge me for the price of a soda

Soda companies want you to buy their sodas and become a dehydrated fat sugar addicted slob.

Who would have thought?

Carry a water bottle with you.

>buying bottled water
>destroying the environment
>not having a water bottle

good grief

this

post the fanny pack you carry your water bottle in, please.

soda does not quench thirst, and it has nothing to do with the caffiene content but the fact that they literally add sodium to it to keep you thirsty. how the fuck would they make money if you were satisfied after drinking it? the companies who make this shit are not your buddy, they will add all kinds of ingredients to confuse your body's chemistry and make you addicted dumbass

Not him but I have a 32 oz nalgene I bring most places. I just hold it in my hand if I don't have my backpack with me

>Only squares have things that they might need. I travel light. Never know when I might need to be nowhere particular. I'm a bit of a drifter. A world traveler. I could wake up in Tokyo or Bermuda or Spain tomorrow. Can't have a water bottle holding me back.

Isn't capitalism great

i get so sick of carrying it
ive resorted to a small backpack likebut not tacticool

top kek

>soda does not quench thirst
Again, a myth. Thoroughly disproven, as you'll find if you take the time to research your preconceptions.

>how the fuck would they make money if you were satisfied after drinking it
A very peculiar question. How do the people selling plain water make money? How do people selling carrots make money? Same thing for soda sales.

San Diego here, can confirm that our tap water is shit
