Not sure where in my post I said they were making a “killing” off of water?????? You missed the entire point of my post. It’s called a loss leader in business. I’m guessing you don’t own a business. I will go slow for you here. You expect to lose money in one area to make it back in another. Example say I actually give it away for free as a courtesy I expect to make it back on other products or in the future I expect to sell more tickets. Holliday World does this, free sunscreen and soft drinks. Why do you think they do that? Because it’s a courtesy to their customers and they expect to make it back in other revenue streams. Your other point was that they have contracts and have to sell certain companies, ok still doesn’t mean they can’t give it away. I just called a top promoter to verify this and he confirmed there is no minimum pricing you can give it away if you want.
