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.

    At $20/cookie, this is 180 cookies per month, or an average of 6 cookies per day.

    I hope nobody is stupid enough to pay $3.75 for a cookie, let alone any of those other prices!

    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."
