My local stores certainly don't price it like run-of-the-mill. Their 8
packs are priced right with LeCroix ... and more than Polar's 12 pack.

That will vary state-to-state. Some states have a can/container deposit
and others don't.* When I was a youngster soda (and beer) bottles were
washed and reused. So, there was a bottle deposit charged if one took
them off the premises. That 2c per bottle wasn't a lot but it did add
up. I used to collect discarded soda bottles around my neighbourhood
and ca$h them in for movie or Dairy Queen money.

*STATES WITH CONTAINER DEPOSIT LAWS; California, Connecticut, Hawaii,
Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Guam
