A hotdog at a stadium is now cheaper than a burger at McDonalds.
$8.50 for filtered tap water. That’s fucking insane. I’d just ask them to point me to the nearest hose.
Dasani water is just nasty though. How is it possible to make water taste so bad
The Seattle Mariners have a similar value menu. Also their local vendors charge the same as they would at their own brick and mortar places.
Originally, a bottle of water is more expensive than soda before discount. :)
Most of the time, you’re paying for packaging and shipping of a product. The soda is likely out of a fountain, so the cost is just the cup, minuscule amount of syrup, and some tap water that was run through a cooler/carbonation system.
That’s one of the ways that Aldi keeps their prices down. The packaging is frustratingly crappy and the supposedly resealable bags and whatnot frequently fall apart when you open them. This is mildly irksome, but is easily fixed with a binder clip or some reusable silicone bags which I think is a fair exchange for a 30-50% discount from name-brand grocery stores. (The food itself is very nearly or exactly the same as name-brand foods.)

8.50
No.
I do think if you worked those brain cells an extra 5-10 seconds you would have realized the conversation going on
