Raise the price of gas accordingly and you'll see no one would buy those other items.

How do I get into the Nyquil business? <br /><br />Fuuny thing is I bet 40% or more of that price is pure marketing costs. You know who makes the real money? The store brand right next to it - most of the profit with no marketing costs. That's why the HBC/ Drug chains focus on selling as much of the store brand as possible. They make a lot more money on it.
