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!

    Gasoline is cheaper than alcahol. Here in Alberta gasoline is bouncing around 70 cents/litre. Beer is about $4.44/liter (6 pack of 375ml bottles costs $10)
