Sweetened water? Probably contains some tea too? It should probably be cheaper than that and at the same time not even worth ingesting.

- happytoexplain 5y agoThe negativity here falls a little flat - water, sugar, and tea isn't really something I think of turning my nose up at. Of course I assume it has a lot of sugar and is therefore unhealthy, but your ingredient list isn't exactly offensive.
- cbg0 5y agoI don't think the idea was to make it offensive, just to say that it's cheap to make.
- rpeden 5y agoI think the same is true for most drinks that you can buy ready-to-consume in small packaging. For me at least, the value is mostly in the production and supply chain that ensures the drink is created, bottled, and distributed to a phalanx of locations such that I can walk into any grocery or convenience store and be reasonably sure I can buy the drink I want in a single-serving container for a price I find acceptable. So I don't think the product cost of the liquid itself really factors into the equation. Or at least it shouldn't. I usually assume most of what I'm paying for the logistics that lead to the drink being available and ready to drink where and when I want it. I don't think the original comment was offensive, just that "it should probably be cheaper" misses the mark because for most drinks in this category, the price of ingredients shouldn't be a significant factor in determining its value to the consumer.
- seoaeu 5y agoThe "not even worth ingesting" part suggests they don't hold the product in high regard
