The ‘Whopper’ is now the ‘Whimper’ At McDonalds, hold the onions now costs $1 extra. A 6-pack is now a 5-pack. In a cost cutting move, beginning with the 2024 model year, car windshields are an optional item available at an extra cost. Flags normally put at half mast are now put at 1/3 mast. And finally, the cost for your thoughts has risen to 10 cents. YACCster and Merlin007 2 Awards

And that’s expensive? Yes it’s sugar water. Sugar doesn’t appear out of thin air like magic. Gotta have the land. Maintain the land for growing. Gotta grow it, with said water, during drought conditions in many areas, and food over several months at least. Pest and disease control. Harvest. Separate. Purify. Transport. And so on. Just for the sugar. Purified water isn’t cheap either. Mix it all together. Put it in expensive aluminum cans. Imagine if each 8-12 oz of gas had to come in a can. Transport, again. All adds up fast. That said, if soda water cost half as much I still wouldn’t buy it. Edited March 4, 2023 by Sammy Awards

But since you wanna 'explain', feel free to elucidate the cost analysis that results in sugar costing twice what gas does. You won't, because it doesn't. Awards

How many gallons of gasoline do we consume as opposed to sugar water. Then multiply by the 100 of millions that consume gasoline every day. I wonder if there is an OPEC cartel for sugar water Awards

Oil or more specifically petroleum products are everywhere. One of those inconvenient truths certain groups dont talk about. And probably most of them have high prices far in excess of how much petroleum is actually needed to make them. So in the end, while you might have comparatively 'cheap' gas, you still pay through the nose for the oil you use every single day. Its like grocery stores. They lure you in with inexpensive items but get you with higher markups and profit on other things. Awards
