shitty bait

Human body:
- 60% water, sells for $400-2000 depending on how big the water's tits are

>>53085990
the shampoos i typically see in large stores are $5-10
but the point is valid
the answer is that these are all made by conglomerates (unilever, etc.) it doesn't matter that there are more profitable things to sell, because they make those things as well

>>53085990
You've never had long hair if you think shampoo can last you that long

this anon speaks the truth. Long hair eats up a fuckton of shampoo unfortunately.

how much do you think shampoo costs to make? I would be surprised if the bottle costs more than $0.15. The shampoo inside is about $.03 or so. Soap in general is one of the cheapest things to make, you just have to make it right, which is as simple as following directions and being able to pour something without it splashing. Also, word to the wise, I used to have really good hair and ended up growing it out. Grew down to my ass over a decade or so(cut it to shoulder length several months ago), however my hair seemed to get shittier and shittier. It was falling out a ton, seemed to be thinning. Then I ran out of shampoo and didnt want to buy a bottle online instead of paying half the price in store...but I didnt want to go to the store. Instead I found a bar of pure castile soap (pure olive oil, anything pure animal fat works too). I used that on my hair, within a week or so, my hair has gotten a ridiculous amount thicker, there is also no more hair falling out. My head in general is healthier. I can feel the natural oils in my hair when its wet now (when dry it feels normal). Invest in some good quality PURE soap, get a bar and either use it like that or mix it with water and essential oils to make a shampoo on your own since it wont have any detergents in it. Yes this is financial advice.

All vinegar comes from bacteria that transforms alcohol into vinegar, typically this can be accomplished by just placing a bottle of lower alcohol content outside and eventually it will convert into vinegar - similarly to How yeast is everywhere so is the bacteria needed to get vinegar.
Of course we live in the modern era and we arent cave men, you just need to get a bottle of apple cider vinegar and add a small part of that into your own apple cider and that will speed that process up infinitely

>you just need to get a bottle of apple cider vinegar and add a small part of that into your own apple cider
Make sure to get the one that says with "the mother". The mother is the main batch that is used to seed other batches of vinegar. The correct bottles will have cloudy bits of stuff in the bottom of the bottle that when shaken gives the vinegar an opaque look.

wrong nigger

you can sell shampoo to 99% of the population

that's not the case of energy drinks

>>53085990
The shampoo doesn't make money, it's all the chemicals in it that do.

I drink shampoo instead of sports drink and a whole bottle lasts me about 2 years

>>53085990
do amerisharts rub feces in their hair regularely?

lmao how do you use a bottle of shampoo in 2 months nigger I use 2 bottles a year at max fucking blows my mind and if you think shampoo isnt marked way up over its production cost then you are terminally american

>>53087616
Their diet is mostly grease, oil and high fructose corn syrup which comes out of their pores

>>53085990
I bet most guys here wash their hair too often so it always looks frizzy

>>53085990
You are confusing sales volume with profit. There aren't really that many ice rinks and they hardly ever need new Zambonis, but it's still a profitable business because there is literally only one factory that makes them.

Shampoo and soda are both profitable, they would just have more bottling facilities for soda since more of it gets consumed. The existence of larger industries doesn't prevent smaller ones.

I hope anons on here know that H&S literally causes balding. Spend a few extra dollars and get top tier quality.

Shampoo is for cleaning your scalp not the hair itself, but most people lather it through hair which makes it dry and frizzy. Also you don't need that much, when it foams it means yours using too much

>>53085990
good shampoo 4-5$
good sports drink: 1.3$
fixed it for you retard

How should I clean my head? I have long semi frizzy hair.

>>53087616

silicone scalp massager to get the shampoo down to the scalp

how does cheap, store-brand bottled water turn a profit? a 24 pack costs like 6 dollars and it weighs like 20 pounds and takes up a lot of space.

Refrigerated shelf space sells at a premium.

guys you don't need to pay for stuff
for example you can use lemon as deodorant and it works just fine
and you avoid the chemicals that cause cancer

>>53086694

correct.


I work in the industry and it's widely known that the plastic bottle CAP or PUMP (not including the bottle itself) cost more than the shampoo.

Every bottle represents a huge margin.

The margins only grow with the more expensive brands.

Just saying...

>>53085990
women spend 80 dollars for a bottle of shampoo that lasts 3 weeks

>>53088132

>How do companies profit from things like shampoo when there's far more profitable things to sell?
for every need there is a market to satisfy that need, size of the market != profitability, if you do the math, consider 5 billion people ( no niggers ) take 2 showers a week, that's like 520 billion showers a year... let's say each shower is like 10ml of shampoo, that's 5.2 billion liters of shampoo a year.. let's say a liter costs 3$, that's 15 billion $ market, are you saying me companies can't make money on such a large market? and this is dumb math, bitches spend way more than that on shampoo, i don't even use shampoo...

>>53088107
This, unironically. Washing my hair only with water for years. Itches gone and looks better than ever

Wait so if we're all getting ripped off so bad where can we just buy a fucking keg of shampoo at real prices and be set for years??

>>53091166
Not him but where are you going to find keg of shampoo? The good shampoos may actually have a life span as well.

>t. Beauty business owner

>>53085990
The answer as always is roasties being the only real driver of consumerism.
Women go through a bottle of conditioner every week and a bottle of shampoo every two.
The shampoo damages their hair, scalp and face and hormones so they need to buy more cosmetics to repair/cover up the damage they've inflicted on themselves.
Many of those products do the same thing (i.e. damage their skin) and the cycle continues.

just use shampoo bars - cheap, better for your scalp and it lasts for ages.

>>53085990

Americans are completely fucked. Those 70% water that humans are made of are grease and chemicals in americans. Imagine your skin and hair have to work with grease oil and corn syrup, now you have to put (((shampoo))) on your head every day, fucks you over even more
