Speaking up for Big Oil

Let people attack me. I'm going to say a good word for big oil.

In the supermarket yesterday I compared prices of the same brand of olive oil in 16 oz. and 68 oz. bottles. Neither was on special sale.

16 oz. bottle - 39 cents per oz.

68 oz. bottle - 20 cents per oz.

OK, you say, but who wants to have to pour every day from a 68 oz. bottle?

Well, you can decant from the 68 oz. bottle to the smaller one as needed.

Think about it, if you don't already do it.

Why pass on a chance to cut your oil bill in half?

Oops, your olive oil bill.
