#19 ... 79 degrees right now down here in South Central TX. 36 degrees up in New York, where we escaped from last year. Sending this meme up to my former homies who kept razzing me with, 'Hot enough for ya?' back in July.
#12. Government subsidized corn. You're paying more for the bottle than the contents. I'd also suspect that the smaller coke is refrigerated, which will also make it cost more. That and branding. There's a reason that laundry detergent without "scent" in it costs more, same for coke vs. water.
Popularity sets the price too. I can stick a sixteen incher in my back pocket and drink it at will, can't do that with a two liter. and for the water, that's what I drink when I want to look upity. Daryl
#9 is so true. It's right up there with dressing like a stripper and getting upset at the kind of attention it draws.
#13: There's nothing I could say to myself at that age that would have made my life any better. I knew it all back then and nobody was gonna tell me a thing.
Eh, for #9 ... well, the pedicures side at least... some unfortunate people, like my late grandmother, need those to keep their feet at least minimally functional.
So yeah. Frequent pedicures to keep her feet to merely "ew" kind of state instead of worse is at least plausible.
#12 If you're paying $2.50 for a bottle of Smart Water, it ain't working.

ReplyDeleteadd, it cost less to package/fill a 2 liter bottle then several 20 oz.

#1 Had a guest bring a little spot to the clubhouse opening day. He won't be coming back.
