A simple research showed me that a kilo of mercedes-benz is cheaper than a kilo of hazelnut.<p>For example, price of a mercedes-benz CLA is $33000 and 1395kg (http://www.autoguide.com/new-cars/2015/mercedes-benz/cla-class/cla250/4dr-sdn-4matic/specs.html).<p>So, 1 kg of mercedes-benz CLA is ~$23.<p>A kilo of hazelnut costs around ~$24 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Diamond-Chopped-Hazelnuts-8-Oz/10813763).<p>Isn't this interesting ?
What about a kilo of wholesale hazelnuts? (Or 1395kg of hazelnuts? (You'll need a lot of squirrels :).))<p>It's unexpected, but not very rare. There are a lot of products that you usually buy and use in small quantities and are very expensive by weight. IIRC saffron [1] is more expensive than gold by weight.<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron</a> , it's used to make yellow rice in Spanish cuisine, very tasty.<p>This can be a nice subject for a what-if question, in spite there is no conditionals and no destructions. <a href="https://what-if.xkcd.com/" rel="nofollow">https://what-if.xkcd.com/</a>
