Because the real cost of that grease is far less than a
penny a shot. The little package costs more than the
contents. The reason they don't put it in is because getting
you to part with a buck for essentially 2c worth of product
is good for the bottom line.

I bought a large tube, I think 8-12 oz, for less than $10
a long time ago, it will last me the rest of my life.
