One cannelloni admire this pun

…....I just told you

Like what? Lego have been essentially unchanged for decades. They have to keep coming up with new kit ideas, but the fundamental building blocks have remained unchanged for decades, and they are simple to reproduce by the billions, and they are dirt cheap.

And yet because of colorful pieces, good package design, and excellent marketing, they can sell a box of tiny dirt cheap plastic blocks for an eye-watering price. Yeah, they have to come up with the occasional weird piece now and then, but otherwise, the bulk of the upfront engineering and design was done decades ago.

Lego is wildly profitable.

Yknow I completely forgot about cash because all the stores push card payment. I don't know if you get offered cash back on refund anymore though. Usually these places only offer store credit unless they're legally obligated to.

It's a joke.

Let me explain: with the current economy, food prices have increased significantly. So the joke is that pasta would be more expensive than expensive Lego.
