It must be an invention. People buy it. I don't. I guess the big trick
was to get people to publish recipes that called for it. Instead of
adding a little baking powder to flour a lot of people will go out and
pay more for the self rising flour.

I just checked the online prices at Kroger for plain and
self-rising flour.  The price is the same for both with
the exception of one or two brands PLAIN flour being the
more expensive of the two.
Pretty much the same difference in prices at Walmart as
well.
