I know, I know, free market and what the traffic will bear and all that rot, which is true and I don't disagree, but when you are offering essentially the same product in different form the price generally reflects the cost of doing business and the profit desired. When they are so out of line and at least perceptually different then it is clear to the consumer that the price is out of line. Sort of like have Coke in a can cost $5.00 and Coke in your own cup cost $5.00 shouldn't the raw Coke cost less?
