That is hilarious. Do you want to go into production on these? We could get Thomas to get them made in Thailand Cheep Cheep. Call them "Mega Nitrous Booster Chips" and then have a second one called "Mega MPG Gain Chip"

For an 8 cent resistor and a 50 cent casing and 50 cents worth of wires for $20 US plus shipping we could make a fortune!

you're forgetting:

packaging
branding
patents/copyrighting (legal reasons)
the sticker that is on the case

not trying to burst your bubble but say goodbye to more than 75% of that sweet overhead.....

not trying to burst your bubble, but he was joking. And scamomatic, inc. doesn't tend to care about branding and patents/copyrights. But you're right, the sticker and packaging bring it up to a dollar.

Thanks. It a shame when the obvious needs to be spoken by a third party for a joke to be understood. At least you and I are laughing
