Only see a few glass bottles in Supermarket here

The supermarket water version 1.25L is 80c

The smaller sports water version with the squirt it in mouth top is $1:45

Weird part about that is the squirt it in mouth top was produced for sports, as I understand, to squirt the energy fluid into the mouth to avoid contact with teeth

The energy minerals were damaging teeth. Squirt it in mouth top not needed for water :)

Supermarket version softdrink 1.25L is $1. So I pay extra 20c for the flavour :)

Weird world all around
