Ask the students to write down as many products as they can think of for which the demand might also rise as the price of the product rises.

If they get stuck give them a scenario: You are about to visit your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s parents for the first time and need to take a bottle of wine. You visit the supermarket – which bottle do you choose?

Write their suggestions on the board.

Then ask them to draw the demand curve for those products before drawing a demand curve for them to compare their own against.
