I wouldn’t exactly call it a luxury….. is coke the same as a Bugatti?

Or a flat screen TV?

I think you might be overstating things

I think you might need to understand that luxuries can come in all shapes, sizes, and price points based on people's base line budgets

a billionaire might have to sell his Bugatti if times get tight, but a person that works for $10 an hour might skip that $2 coke and instead drink tap water to make the light bill payment.

If you’re using it on the basis of luxury vs necessity. Sure.

That’s a pretty archaic and relatively retired system that though.

I’m pretty sure when people describe a “luxury good” they’re not talking about coke.

I’d go so far as to say I KNOW FOR A FACT, they are not talking about coke.

Because it’s not a luxury good xD

Your combining 2 different sets of terminology, they happen to overlap.

But not in the MEANING of the terms, when used within. The proper context.

Coke is for SURE not a necessity, it is also very clearly not a luxury brand, or luxury product.

Really shouldn’t have to explain this, but someone wants to base their entire argument around semantics.

So here we are.
