One thing I found curious on the price economics was the comparison against soda. They listed a price of $0.70 per liter for the SodaStream soda and $1.08 per liter for a 2 liter from the store. Was that a mistake? I'm used to picking up a two liter for $1 for the whole bottle ($0.80 if I'm willing to go generic brand). Did they make a mistkae and not normalize the $1.08 price for the two liter or are people really paying $2.16 for two liters of pop.
- pchristensen 14y agoThey listed San Francisco stores for the price comparisons, so that sounds right. Buying at non-urban grocery stores would be much cheaper.
- stephengillie 14y agoSoda is sold in 1-liter bottles, and it's usually the same price or even slightly more expensive than 2-liter bottles. Convenience stores and gas stations sell 1-liter bottles in higher volumes than 2-liter bottles because people will accept 1-liter as a single serving (1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds), while 2-liters is too heavy to easily carry in the hand (2 kilograms or 4.4 pounds).
