| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | The most expensive liquid in the world is a whopping 250X the price of the second most expensive liquid. Guess which is the most expensive, and which is the least expensive (of the top 10)? Common date rape drops are flunitrazepam (Rohypnol), also called roofies; gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), also called liquid ecstasy; and ketamine, also called Special K. BLACK PRINTER INK GHB (gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid ) MERCURY INSULIN HUMAN BLOOD CHANNEL NO.5 SCORPION VENOM KING COBRA VENOM BLUE BLOOD OF HORSHOE CRAB LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) HUMAN BLOOD $1,500 GHB (gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid )- $2,500 BLACK PRINTER INK $2,700 MERCURY $3,400 INSULIN $9,400 CHANNEL NO.5 $26,000 BLUE BLOOD OF HORSHOE CRAB-$60,000 LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)- $123,000 KING COBRA VENOM $153,000 SCORPION VENOM $39,000,000 |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | BLACK PRINTER INK ....... not so cheap...always thought it was a powder though. GHB (gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid ) ... date rape drugs are cheap.... battle field anesthetics can't be expensive Pricey on black market. MERCURY...........................................cheap stuff due to gold mining increasing its demand INSULIN ...........................................Pricey. HUMAN BLOOD .................................gotta be moderately pricey else none of those ghetto clinics or free movies in India. CHANNEL NO.5 ................................Pricey. SCORPION VENOM ............................priciest of all venoms KING COBRA VENOM .........................Pricey BLUE BLOOD OF HORSHOE CRAB ........... my vote for number one. copper based blood. Usedd for precise biochemical analytics. LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) ........... cheap stuff. patent expired long ago. Pricey on black market. |

These items are not inherently expensive. Printer Ink is obviously like heroin. They give you the printers for close to cost, and then you are hooked. Human blood is cheap, but you want "clean" human blood. LSD is high markup stuff. |

I buy perhaps a black ink cartridge once every two years. I don't print much at home. At the office we use toner only. It's not cheap, but it's cheaper than ink.
There are a lot of expenses involved per unit of blood. Aside from storage, sterile bags and equipment, there are analyses made on the samples they take from you before you fill the unit bag. It's screened for several diseases, and it's typed, too. That brings the price up a lot. Far more interesting, though, are exorbitant prices for certain foods and spices. Can you believe a customer once asked us to price saffron per kilo? It would be far more appropriate to price it per karat. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I doubt that the source that I pulled those numbers from is really interested in being 100% accurate. It wouldn't be interesting if it was just a list of mostly perfumes. As Nareed pointed out, the #1 liquid on the list probably doesn't sell a gallon in the entire country per year. LSD is on this list of substances as well. So is Tritium 19. White Truffles 18. Saffron 17. Iranian Beluga Caviar 16. Gold (Edible Gold) 15. Rhodium 14. Platinum 13. Rhino Horn 12. Crème de la Mer 11. Heroin 10. Methamphetamine 9. Crack Cocaine 8. LSD 7. Plutonium 6. Taaffeite (The mauve-colored gem is thought to be more than a million times scarcer than diamonds) 5. Tritium 4. Diamonds 3. Painite (thought to be the rarest gem mineral) 2. Californium 252 1. Antimatter (what do you keep it in?) |
