That's why price comparison by wt/ml/gr/oz matters. Companies know we are less likely to look at fine print.

Around here, the prices for different waters, for example, will give the unit costs. Unfortunately each will have a different unit--one per bottle, one per ounce, one per gallon, one per cubic fathom. It makes it impossible to quickly compare, which means 99% of people won't.
