Price debates are usually useless because nobody's doing the same math. So let's try to fix that. What variables actually belong in a cost-per-use calculation for mad honey, and what's the right structure for a neutral template?
Jar size and serving size are the first two. The problem is most people compare sticker price to a supermarket honey jar and that's just the wrong category entirely. You're not buying a condiment. The base unit has to be 'cost per effective use.'
The template also needs to account for what it costs to source ethically, proper harvesting, safety protocols, small-batch processing. When those costs aren't in the price, they get externalized somewhere. Either onto the harvesters, or onto the buyer who ends up with a low-concentration jar that does nothing
Don't forget fraud risk. If there's even a moderate chance the jar is diluted or mislabeled, the real cost-per-use goes up because you're paying for a dose you may never get. Lab verification has a cost. No verification also has a cost, it's just hidden.
And some of what you pay for is branding: packaging, influencer fees, lifestyle aesthetics. That's not necessarily dishonest, but it's worth separating what am I paying for the honey from what am I paying for the story around the honey. Both can be worth it for different reasons.
