Aquafina and Dasani bottled water from convenience stores

Price to make: $1.50 for 1,000 gallons of purified water

Price you pay for a 16.9-ounce bottle: $1 to $3

It takes the profit of about five bottles of water to make the plastic for one bottle of water, a partial reason for the heavy price mark-up. The price hike also comes from Coca-Cola and Pepsi's (the manufacturers of Aquafina and Dasani) marketing and distribution costs.
