From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in... - "Water supply is not uniformly continuous and often fails to meet basic drinking water quality standards"
vs
"The iconic drink is the latest to join a group of basic products becoming scarce" (from the article)
Coca-Cola is not a basic product. At best it's a cheap luxury.
