It's called merchandising. There are lots of products sold today that are
just clones of a cheaper one done up with advertising and pizzaz and folks
pay large for the stuff. Amway is one that comes to mind.
Coke and Pepsi is just fizzy water and advertising. You could make as
refreshing a drink in your home for pennies.
Come to think of it why the hell why is is bottled water selling for as
much as Coke or Pepsi. It' just water and no fizz or advertising.
Not a lot to do with Hondas but it's my rant of the day
Thanks
