A friend of mine moved to SF right out of college. A year or so later, he told me that he visited Busch Gardens Williamsburg which is a theme park near where we grew up. It was originally owned by Anheuser-Busch, so you can get beer basically anywhere in the park.
He had this to say:
“You know, this is the first time I’ve been since turning 21. I was surprised to see how cheap the beer was. They were only charging $8 a pint.”
I hope this is a fictitious example and he’s not actually paying almost $20 for a cookie.
But I’ve talked to enough Californians to know how much some people are willing to pay for things.
"Food $200
Data $150
Rent $800
Cookies $3,600
Utility $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying"
“Spend less on cookies”
“No”
At $20/cookie, this is 180 cookies per month, or an average of 6 cookies per day.
Yeah. Their family is dying. They need to spend more on cookies, not less.
You’re right I vote to get rid of the food budget entirely. That’s 10 more cookies a month.
Maybe with DoorDash fees, but if that’s the case then this guy fucking deserves bankruptcy.
Mfer door dashing cookies one at a time
If it is from Crumbl, thus seems more than possible
I hope nobody is stupid enough to pay $3.75 for a cookie, let alone any of those other prices!
Depends on the cookie.
Hey man, Cookie is a nice girl. She’s doing the best she can in this economy.

Was he surprised a pint of beer in general was $8 or specifically at an amusement park? Because, for the latter, that is surprising.
He was surprised it was $8 in an amusement park.
This was also like 14 years ago. Might need to update the dollar amount when I tell this story.
Yeah if you’re used to California prices most places feel like a deal. I don’t bat an eye paying $4.70 a gallon for gas currently.
This guy’s buying cookies from Erewhon
How much are they prepared to pay for things?
What the going rate for a doodad these days?
