I'd like a way to take hot tea with me to class in the morning. So I've been shopping for a vacuum thermos bottle.
Amazon sells several, but I noticed something interesting. These are all metal vacuum bottles made by Thermos Nissan:
- 16 oz: $30.00
- 26 oz: $28.93
- 34 oz: $27.99
Shipping is free for all of them, so they're not hiding the cost. The pricing model they are using confuses me.
Also, I'd rather use a smaller one, but it is cheaper to buy the big one. I could just leave it mostly empty all the time. But I don't want to fill my backpack with a huge, mostly-empty bottle every day.

The pricing model is easy...you do figure it out in the rest of your post.
1. For most people, the size differences, while substitutes, are not perfect substitutes.
2. More people will want a small, easier to carry size.
3. Put one and two together -- you pay a premium for the smaller size.
