- massysett 4y agoThis doesn't surprise me much. Most of the cost of these things is the cost of packaging and trucking them around - the cost of the sugar syrup in Coke isn't adding much cost versus the sparkling water. The soda maker might have a more efficient distribution network that allows a lower cost per unit. That, and the customer who's buying sparkling water (instead of buying soda, or just plain bottled tap water) probably is willing to pay more.
- reducesuffering 4y agoThat's probably because the people drinking La Croix aren't too price-sensitive. However, if you actually care about buying them with little margin, Costco has em for $0.30/can and Trader Joe's for $0.40.
