Why is water more expensive as soda?

Not in Uganda it's not

There are a bunch of places where I go to lunch and in a couple of them the can of soda is $1 and bottled water is $1.50 or more. I mean soda is water plus some other unhealthy stuff like sugar (actually most likely High Fructose Corn Syrup or HFCS, which is everywhere due to corn subsidies in the US) , so how come an aluminum can with water and other ingredients is more expensive than a plastic bottle of just water?

And it's not like all the bottled water comes from some far-away pristine underground spring where is carefully bottled in all its purity, but for example here in Ontario the Aquafina water bottle (from Pepsi) is tap water. I kid you not, it's right there in the label: "water from the public distribution of Mississauga" and I'm pretty sure they didn't volunteer that bit of information.

Well at Walmart it cost me $3.97 for a package of 24 pack of waters and a 12 pack of sodas from coca cola cost me $4.12. It's not a very much difference here where I live. I get actually get more water than soda here and save a few cents.

Water is natural hence is more expensive and have no comparision. Soda gives you nothing

Because as P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

*Than... and its not. at least not in America.
