    Tbf some of the discounted prices are pretty damn low but my JFC charging $8.50 for bottle water should be a criminal offense

      You can save $2 by adding corn syrup and food coloring though.

        But you lose the plastic bottle in exchange for a flimsier paper cup.

        Wtf I’m Australian and never had a “bad” bottle of water and never even considered that could be a thing. The hell are they doing to it.

              I can’t get her to climb in there though.

              She’s your mom, maybe you can talk to her for me?

          They add salt to it for “flavor”. Yes, I’m serious. It’s not like sea water, but it definitely tastes like bad tap water.

      I mean, if it is a gallon jug, I see value. A 20oz or smaller bottle? Get Luigi’d.

    The Atlanta Falcons made their concessions cheap some years ago. Planet Money did a podcast about it.
