I just gave my 11 year old son the gears for going to the convenience store to buy a bottle. He went with $5 bought a bottle of Jones orange, and a pack of Reeses Peanut butter cups. He got back pennies in change.
Sat him down and had a discussion about the cost of things at the convenience store, and how going to the Valu-Mart (grocery) just at the corner, he would have paid a lot less.
His argument was that there was no Jones at the grocery store. I basically said that pop is pop, he could have bought orange crush, or sprite, or anything, it's all the same. The Jones stuff just pretties up the package to make you part with your money.
With the same money, he could have bought 2 orange crushes and the 3 pack of peanut butter cups at the grocery.
Later, I went to check, and the grocery does carry Jones, but you need to buy it in 12 packs!!
The little kids, they like the bottles.
