Wheels should not cost more than a phone, and the image makes that clash physical by placing a real phone beside one. The price only makes sense with an explanation, which is exactly what the title offers. Absurdity plus a promised answer earns the click.
How the packaging works
Title
The title names the absurd price and promises to explain it.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail shows a hand holding one wheel with a phone placed beside it for comparison.
Remix this
When a price sounds absurd, place a familiar object beside it that costs less. The comparison lands without a word. If you teach, anchor odd numbers to things your viewer already owns.
The transferable lesson
Anchor an absurd number to a familiar cheaper object.
