"Cry is free" is one constantly used sentence to users who are complaining about something. But what most don't know, is that this sentence is actually a huge lie.
As far as we know, tears consist of water and 0,9 gram salt per litre. And both of these ingredients are not free.
Here I listed the price for 10 litre tears for the countries of the G8. I used the following formula (price is in US Dollar):
(Price 100 gram salt/100)x9 + (Price 1 cubic litre water/100) = Price for 10 Litre Tears
France: 0,20 $
Italy: 0,17 $
Germany: 0,19 $
United Kingdom: 0,22 $
USA: 0,18 $
Canada: 0,18 $
Japan: 0,18 $
Russia: 0,16 $
That means Russia has the cheapest cry.
Russia has the cheapest cost of table salt not electrolytes
Tears are composed of:
Water
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, magnesium, and calcium). These are what give tears their salty taste.
Proteins (lysozyme, lactoferrin, lipocalin, and IgA). The tears have only about one-tenth of the protein of the blood plasma.
Lipids
Mucins
