I’ve always suspected that ink cartridges are one of the most valuable commodities in the world, and apparently that suspicion is strengthened when one compares the cost of HP ink with other valuable fluids. Apparently, an HP black ink cartridge will set you back by $0.71/ml, while life-giving blood from the Red Cross is nearly half the price at $0.40/ml. Even the world’s most prominent antibiotic, penicillin, costs 10% of HP’s ink at $0.07/ml. Alcoholics can rejoice knowing that vodka is dirt cheap at a few cents for every ml, giving them an extra excuse to drink more instead of sitting in front the PC, churning out a 10 page report which was due last week.
