Capitalism has become another "ism" to many, but the activity of the global economy is like a symphony harmonizing its various industries. And sometimes I just gotta stop to "listen" and appreciate such manifestations as seen here: five bbq lighters for less than $1.50 each.
Somehow, $6.99 is enough for all the raw materials, engineering, manufacturing, packaging, printing, marketing, and shipping. And then there's money left over for the brand itself and the retailer to make a profit.
I don't need these lighters, but I almost bought them imagining circumstances where I might. Such a remarkable "song" I wanted to take home.
Those $1.50 bendy torch flame ones are pretty sweet though
Yeah, that's what really put this over the top for me. The others are long-neck lighters--which is nice. But two torches, as well?! I could see just one of them selling for $6.99.
