So by you own admission there is literally no downside to grab a water and you still choose the unhealthy option. And the same logic is probably applied everywhere.
You dont get it Do you? If you have no money cant buy good food you have to buy stuff that makes Life better… And suggar gives the Illusion that Life is better… You Sound very Privileged… But ive seen you ignore facts so i assume you wont see the side of people with Low income where you can not buy healthy food
Also not just do we need to account for the psychology, which he isn’t doing, but also, a lot of the times soft drinks in multipacks can actually be cheaper than bottled water. Not often, but I’ve definitely seen it even in Finland (and our tap water is great) where a bottle of water would be around 1e but some offer makes it so that you can buy a sixpack of coke cans for 3e, making it cheaper by volume.
I’m not saying the prices should be the determining factor, but I think most of us know that for anyone who even knows what “paycheck to paycheck” means, it too often is the most crucial factor in determining purchases.
Which water is 1€, Fiji? Buy supermarket brand water for 0.25€ for a 1.5L, or drink tap water. 6 cans of coke for 3 euros is 1.5€ per liter. Your math isn’t mathing. On top of everything, if you really want coke, bottles are always cheaper than cans.
Like people have been saying, you’re vastly underestimating the costs.
Edit oh and bottles aren’t always cheaper than cans, what on Earth gives you that idea? Cans have a 0.15 deposit here, 0.5l bottles 0.20e and large bottles 0.4e. Yeah, usually you can get the market brand largest coke bottle for less than you pay for a sixpack of brand coke, but a lot of the times it’s on sale for 3e a sixpack, meaning it’s sometimes cheaper than the non-brand cokes. I don’t drink that much coke, but there’s more value in deposits in a sixpack of cans (0.15 * 6 = 90 cnt as opposed to 40 cents from the 1.5-2l bottle) and it doesn’t lose the co2 as fast due to being in separate canisters
Nope, that’s not how you spell “oh look, I am actually rather stupid for having such arrogance with zero knowledge and arguments”.
So you refused to believe a bottle of water is 1€. I proved you wrong. You thought you’d get a bottle with 25 cents, thinking water costs 5 cents above the 20 cnt deposit.
Just like you have been this entire thread (which is why everyone is downvoting you), you’re just acting like a kid who’s ashamed he did something silly and wants to pretend he didn’t.
You keep saying wrong things. I haven’t. I keep proving how the things I say are true. Which you keep ignoring, because you don’t want to be proved wrong.
Admit you were wrong. Admit that generic store brand flat water is 1€ for 0.5l in my closest store. (They don’t even have the gallon+ jug most of the time if you actually needed water.)
But like, for the umpteenth time, I DO NOT LIVE IN A FOOD DESERT NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN IN THE USA. Your reading is so bad that I have no problem believing you grew up in a shitty communist country, lol.
I didn’t prove myself wrong in anything way. You’re talking about a bottle that costs over 5 euros. You’re just having to avoid that, and to even remotely remain with your delusions, you’re now pretending you didn’t argue that you can get 1.5l for 25 cents, when 25c doesn’t even cover the 40c deposit of the 1.5l bottle.
You claimed 1e bottles don’t exist. Laughed even… Proved you 100% wrong. But you aren’t and never will be man enough to admit to your mistakes.
Deposit is part of the price you have to pay at the till. Going there and saying “oh you can wave the deposits, they’re just deposits” won’t make the price any less. You’ll get some back later, yeah. But the price at the till is the price at the till.
You’re wrong and simply not man enough to accept that.
A food desert is an area that has limited access to fresh food.[2][3][4] A food desert typically lacks the presence of a grocer and instead supplements it with convenience stores or fast food
Do you have trouble understanding the words? I can translate if you tell me your native language. Clearly it’s not English.
Never claimed that, just said that if you buy sugar drinks instead of water, don’t blame your lack of nutrition or health on being poor, food deserts, George Soros, space lasers or the military industrial complex.

Literally the cheapest brand at my local store.

Ok, now show the coke, water is 0.52€ per liter.
PS: deposit is refundable. Do poor people just throw away money now?

You proved yourself wrong. You showed me a bottle way cheaper than that in you own screenshot.
PS: deposit is not part of the price, you get that back…

I was poor longer than half my life. If I used my money to buy sugar drinks, I didn’t blame my lack of money for my bad nutrition.
You are a stubborn idiot.
Why do you pretend food deserts don’t exist, when they every clearly do?
Is it that much of a hit to your childish ego? Kinda pitiful.

“what’s an implication”
You’ve outright argued that people living in food deserts are JUST MAKING BAD CHOICES instead of NOT HAVING CHOICES AVAILABLE TO THEM.
I’ve met dogs who understand English better than you
They have choices: water.
Oooh, wittle trollito is having a tantrum. How sweet!
Tantrum?
