Pumps' Perplexities

Everybody knows that the price of all food is
going up.....This blog is not about the food,
it is about the packaging......

Let's take coffee as an example......It comes
in a tin or in a plastic "can" with an easy
grip handle......

Well the plastic "can" is made from OIL,
good olde petroleum......

Now the price of the coffee bean and
shipping (Oil again) goes up....Then you
grind the beans and put them in a plastic
(HDPE) made from OIL container and
you keep on adding to the cost of the
basic product at the retail level......

The price of a TIN can has not increased
as much as OIL has......I suspect you
will find more sales in TIN cans than
you will in plastic (OIL) cans.......

Bottom line - If it comes in a plastic
(HDPE) container you WILL be paying
more for the item......Pumps
