Why is this drink so expensive.....?!
I have recently become quite interested in artificial sweetners and their alleged carcenagenic effects!.
So, trying to be healthy, i bought a drink called "this water" the label pointing out that there is nothing artificial, pure fruit juice, mineral water etc etc etc
Later i was thinking, as i read the ingrediants (water, juice of 1 lemon, juice of 1 lime, sugar) and was trying to work out why it cost me over a quid!!
I could have made that myself - how much is a lemon, and a lime, a bottle of mineral water and a few spoonful's of sugar!?!?!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would also make it myself!. In fact, I bought lots of fruit, full fat milk and some yogurt, today in Tesco so that I can make my own smoothies!. They know that people will pay more money for something healthy!.

Would you buy a lemon, a lime, a small bag of sugar and a bottle of water and sit down squeezing them and mixing them!? id love to see someone do that while on a train or something, lol

your buying into the brand the name and the fad!. if i go to my grocery store and go to the water section !. they 40 different types of water!. now im not talking about the flavored kind or the sparkling kind!. just water!. different sized bottles different color bottels blue clear white!. others have cool names!. thats what your paying for, your paying for the name brand !. it sucks yes, but people still buy it!. dont ask me why when you can get a gallon of regular spring water for 99 cents or (2p i think for you) in most stores!. so pay for being helathy i guessWww@FoodAQ@Com
because people just like you want to buy it!. remember that you are not only paying for the ingredients that went into making the drink, but also the marketing and advertising, botteling, labelling, the initial concept etc!. etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Good for you! You've thought it out and realized that water, lemon and sugar are available to everyone at a very low price!. You're paying for the bottle and it's label, not the contents!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
All pre-mixed drinks are expensive, even water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Simple - they charge that because they know that mugs will pay that much for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
