I abandoned many brands many years ago. They provide me nothing of value so I don't give them my money.
The one brand that I am seeing rise in price for me is Spindrift.
I was just thinking the other day that their business model has got to be a lot more supply chain and energy dependent than many of the "fizzy waters".
For those who don't know, its a low calorie soda because its simply real juice in small quantities as the flavoring.
So they must have to source fresh fruits, then extract them, then pasteurize everything, and only then make the soda.
I don't drink a lot of it, but its about the only soda I am willing to give the kids.
Some searching suggests Spindrift is from 3-12% actual fruit juice. So let's say 1 oz of juice in a 12 oz can. Simply Orange is a brand of premium orange juice. It costs about 10 cents per ounce. And that's a premium product sold in its own packaging. In reality, you're talking less than a nickle of juice in each can.
