As I walked into my local supermarket, I’d rather not say which one because they are great people, someone at checkout asked the manager about the Lysol that was for sale. This was the first time that all of us had seen a can of Lyson since the pandemic began.
The same customer asked if the price was a misprint—$19.99 per can! Without a doubt, the most expensive can of Lysol in American history!
The manager explained that the Lysol was made in Canada and had to be imported, and that is why the price is so high. This supermarket was not guilty of price gouging, the markup for them is not great.
But someone along this production chain is making a lot of money. I haven’t bought one yet but would like to. I already told my wife about the price, and she might kill me if I come home with one.
Nothing disenfects like Lysol, right? I wrote about the lack of Lysol on any supermarket shelf a few month ago, and the reason was that the chemicals made to make Lysol were from China and were unavailable.
Now I wonder why the chemicals to make Lysol can be found in Canada but not in the USA.
