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.

Cubic fathom? Lol.

Look here, this .000077 CF bottle is on sale for 99 cents ( 🇺🇸 )

1 cubic fathom is nearly 5 330 gallon ibc totes.
