So one kiasu (miser/stingy) woman came up to order a sugar free drink from me today and she made an UNSATISFIED comment; "$0.35 is too much of an additional cost for sugar-free drinks. It makes no sense. You take out something (the sugar) and yet you charge more" - I didn't feel like being apologetic, so I just gave her my best smile, and said "that's how it goes" and she smirks "no it isn't" muahahah but I couldn't care less. Woman, if you want your bloody sugar-free latte just order and get LOST.
But actually ya... it got me thinking. Actually why would sugar-free stuff be more expensive? My recent research has brought me no results. This post will be updated!
I need to know some theories behind this SUGAR FREE-ness issue.

Actually "kiasu" means someone who is afraid of losing - literally "scared to lose".
My theory is that the components that make up the sweeteners "cost" a little more than (un)processed sugar.
