Have you noticed that Pepsi/Coke whatever in 2 litre bottles from your local garage is dearer per litre than petrol?
Are Poundland "Duracell" batteries fakes?

I read somewhere that the most expensive liquid on the PLANET, is printer ink.

I don't much fancy drinking that.
Yeah, I read that too. More expensive than scorpion venom, which is the next most expensive.

Actually, there's a lot on the net about that..

Not according to this

Yes I realised after I posted that. I just remember scorpion venom being in the list of expensive liquids when I read the article, which was in 2004 by the look of it. A Gartner analyst seems to have started the whole debate off.

Be interesting taking a "sample" to the doctor...

Lab report: This horse is not fit for work
The problem with this analysis is that one is not just buying the ink, but having to purchase the complex 'container' that it comes in each time. So this is not really a valid comparison.

OK, so what about Coke v Petrol?
Got to cost more to get the oil out of the ground, ship it here, process it, get it to the garage, store it in a very complex container, then dispense it?
You can do the comparison on HP78 cartridges available in two capacities, otherwise identical. Prices from one supplier DE (19ml): £17.20; AE (38ml): £31.11. Taking the difference, that's £732 per litre
Eh!
I'm sure that you can make baked beans expensive if you looked at incremental prices.

No, they're the opposite: you'll often find them at something like
28p for a small tin and 32p for a standard size, with the latter on offer at four for £1.Join the Discussion
