    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.”

      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.
