Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.

Then I remember most people don’t think.

I mean there’s tea that you can buy that’s aged about 30 years. That stuff is horrifically expensive because the capital outlay with ZERO return on it is massive. (I drank a tea that was actually 99 years old once, back in about 2003. It cost roughly twenty bucks in 2003 money for a thimble-sized teacup’s worth. Yes, it was worth it.)

You can also get liquors that are aged 25+ years here. Again, it’s hugely expensive because of the outlay vs. return ratio.

And both of these only work by also selling younger versions: for the liquors 3 years and for teas anywhere from a year on up.

A hundred years? And yet you sell them for a price of about $1.5 for ten? (First search page on Taobao, randomly selected shop: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=683692822495)
