The kanji 品 is made up of three “mouth” radicals (口) stacked, symbolizing multiple items or goods being offered or talked about. In ancient times, it represented products, goods, or quality of items. 品 came to mean goods, products, or quality, capturing things, offerings, and value.
Three mouths together — 品 means goods, products, or quality.
Imagine three items being offered or discussed — that’s 品, the kanji for goods and quality.
