To make the analogy even passably accurate you need to find a situation in which the second part of the product has NEGATIVE MARKET VALUE when added to the first part even if it would have positive market value alone.

A bar charges $6 for vodka, but only $3 for vodka with castor oil. With your best Jack Nicholson grin you order the latter and ask them to hold the castor oil.
