    Harris teeter is out here selling 2 bags of m&ms in a shitty plastic jar with the cheap candy no one likes and a tiny little balloon (you know the tiny tiny ones with no helium) FOR $25. I’m vocal about how cheap and shitty I think this kind of shit is.

    $20 without cookies. That tracks.

    Per googles inflation calculator, $5 in '86 is about $15 today. The original ad says retail price is almost $10, or per the same calc about $30 today.

    $20 without cookies feels right on inflation. This aint the inflation battle to fight

    Damn, 5 bucks? I'd assume 50 today. Honestly, I like it

    Walmart has a few similar things right now. But they're pissing me off with their dynamic pricing so I'll unfortunately pass.
