Since Coke is just a liquid formulation (which shouldn't require elaborate chemical or mechanical processes), it seems unlikely that they're using those 4 liters of water as part of the Coke formulation. I'd assume then that it gets used in related manufacturing processes (cooling, cleaning). Those processes wouldn't need purified water, such as what (i hope) they use in the Coke formulation. As to why bottled water is more expensive, i'd guess it's partly because of more expensive purification processes, partly expensive marketing, and partly that stupidity thing you mention.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510015029866121281noreply@blogger.com
