Why does Dental Floss cost so much?
Was at the store the other day and noticed that Dental Floss sells for $3.99 or $4.99 (i live in Canada) for about 200 yards (183m). It is rare for the price to be lower than this and so i got to wondering why does it cost so much?
Isn't floss just a piece of thread that is "waxed" lightly, spun on a spindle and takc on a piece of sharp metal for cutting the thread, and incased in a plastic cover. My only guess is that its plastic casing is the big cost in this $3.99/4.99 root-canal gouge-fest....But still there is NO WAY that can add up to equate to that much...impossible.
I wonder why no new company has popped up to undercut this overvalued market and release a 200yard spindle of waxed thread WITHOUT a casing....and just include a sharp little metal thingy at the tip of the spindle so the consumer can cut the thread off easily....My guess the cost could drop to $0.99 and STILL make a healthy profit for the company.
My understanding is that it is hard to wind. It keeps getting messed up. That is why the wax is there. Not for the flossing, for the winding. You can bet that if it were easy to do, somebody would do it. I have seen cheaper floss in fancy containers. The container can't be the answer. You obviously have a good mind. Invent a good winding machine and become a billionaire.
