Costco hot dog deal changes. Huge change in societal norms? [View all]

Same price but water instead of soda.

I thought that fountain soda was cheaper than bottled water, considering shipping, handling, storage, and labor.
Surely, the fountain drinks will still be there.

Protests, Letters to the editor. Cries of communist, Anti-Christ, and heathens. Pitchforks and torches.

Have I over-judged today's culture?
Or just getting used to it?

(OK. A wee bit of satire/sarcasm)

(Don't forget nutrition. Ketchup is a vegetable.)
