I was buying 5 gallon syrup boxes from restaurant supply stores and making soda with my SodaStream. A good day I could approach the price of a sale 2 liter bottle. Assuming the cups lids and straws aren’t free, The ice is nearly free, The carbonation is relatively cheap. They’re probably making at least two full dollars profit per cup.
Absolutely not true. Definitely not for Coke or Pepsi anyway. That wasn’t even true in the '90s. Everybody’s buying their crap from US foods and Sysco, and the bibs just aren’t that cheap.
which is, itself, absolutely ridiculous.
Especially saying that Pepsi owns the brand.

Fast food restaurants pay less than a penny per ounce for soda.
