Why Does Soda Cost Less Than Water at the Corner Store?

Season 23 Episode 37 | 1h 6mVideo has Closed Captions

Forum by students from Cleveland State University and Cuyahoga Community College.

Walk into almost any corner store and you'll find the cost of a bottle of soda is likely less than a bottle of water. It's a strange conundrum that speaks to the economic conditions that create challenges for so many communities. The simple fact of this price difference has an impact on public health, for instance, but the price of soda is not an anomaly.
