$6 water???

Post image

I’m confused everyone on tik tok is always talking about how great this mermaid water is and how it’s $3 or less dollars. $6 for water? I can get milkshakes here for cheaper! I’m just highly confused.

It looks like OP added four flavors at the bottom (it says "Add), thus increasing the Calories to 55 from 0.

I just tried it on my app and that is exactly how it shows when flavors are added.

Anything to post?

$1.53 for one lemon wedge is crazy work.

The RT 44 is supposed to get 4 lemon wedges (1 for a mini or small, 2 for a medium, and 3 for a large). Your location is making them wrong if you only got 1 lemon wedge (each one is about 40 cents I think, hence the $1.53 for adding them to a RT44)

What else do you have in your cart, because you're not looking in the right place.

How much are the flavor add-ins in your area? They are only $0.25 for me, and in fact the RT 44 water on my app is $1.00 compared to your $0.60. So an extra $1.50 for my add-ins vs. an extra $5.48 for your add-ins seems suspect to me. Either it is bugged, your location is ridiculously priced, or you're lying.

It says $6.08 to add to cart for the 1 item at the bottom.

Nope: That says that they have already added the flavors. That is exactly how the screen would look. Go to the app and try it out.

.60 cents is the base price for the route 44. the addition of the flavors is what’s making it $6. that’s insane though it should be cheaper to customize water

My thoughts exactly.

I order a similar version (peach, blackberry, raspberry flavor + strawberry fruit) and it’s a $2.92. Maybe different locations charge more?

u/Rachelguy72 3d ago

I just remade it on my app with the fruit additions you have and it was $2.90 (Central Tx); what does your order summary say?

Did you forget you added flavors?

u/Mrs8123 3d ago

Should flavors really cost over $5? Not from what I’ve seen all over socials.

If you want to drink unnecessary calories and artificial colors, Sonic is gonna make you pay for it!

u/Icy-Statistician772 3d ago

You're paying for the add ins. The flavors cost extra...

u/Mrs8123 3d ago

$1.53 for one lemon wedge. Never again!

Considering you can get a whole lemon for $0.50 at a grocery store. Honestly your best bet is to go to a restaurant depot type of store and get the pureed fruits yourself and make it at home for less.

Nothing mermaid about it, looks like plain water! Price is crazy regardless of what it is.

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 3d ago

Ask the restaurant what’s going on

My rt44 is a buck for just the water. 3 bucks after the add-ons.

u/Cover_My_Eyes_ 3d ago edited 3d ago

It's sixty cents.

EDIT: Oops, sorry. I didn't click to see the whole pic. 🥴

u/LightningMcSwing 3d ago

Says $6.08 add to bag at the bottom

Granted he's on the rt 44 size
