Ink More Expensive Than Champagne

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the silly-comparisons dept.

laing writes "According to this story, ink for home printers is now seven times more expensive than vintage champagne.Ink in a typical replacement cartridge costs about £1.70 per millilitre, compared with 1985 Dom Perignon at 23p per millilitre." Explains why I get daily spam about toner, but none at all for booze!

    I don't get it how do you compare £ to p? What is a p and isn't 23 > 1.70 if they are both pounds per ml? I have never heard anyone in the states write millilitre, why not just write ml? thats whats the beakers and pipes I been smoking out of use!
