Comment on A gallon of milk is HOW MUCH?

I was waiting for mu cosin the other day at a bus stop… he arrives, he’s eating a hamburger. I asked how much he paid for it, he said $3. I just came back from a compyer store and bought a 32GB flash drive. Guess how much that thing cost me… you guessed it, $3.

So, basically, a flash drive that I’m gonna use in the next 3 or 4 years is the same price as a burger that I’m gonna eat and shit out in the next few hours or so.

IDK about everyone else, but that seems whacked to me.

Where are you buying flash drives for 3 bucks?

Where is your cousin getting burgers for 3 dollars?

What decade is it?

  Lol, I don’t live in the US 😂. The price in $ was to cater to Lemmy users, which are mostly from the US from what I’ve gathered 😂.
  
  But google for the price of flash drives these days, you’ll see that a 32GB one is about the same price as a burger, wherever you might live in the US.

    That one’s even USB 3.1, the one I bought was just plain 2.0 😂.
    
    $3, 4, doesn’t really matter. My point was they’re dirt cheap, and food is getting really really expensive.

  Burger King and McDonalds both have burgers that cheap in the USA, but they don’t come with any accessories

    I used to work in food service. I have 26 years in various kitchens. I am confused as I’m not sure if your usage of the word “accessories” refers to condiments or sides. I’m guessing sides, but it could go either way.

    One thing that baffles me is that at McDonald’s Australia, a hamburger costs less than a small sundae, and a small sundae is over 3x the price of a soft serve.
    
    It makes sense for the soft serve to be a loss leader, but I do find it odd how expensive the sundae and Mcflurry is in comparison.
    
    Also, a flake soft serve currently coats more than a plain soft serve… It costs 15c more for them not to shove a chocolate bar in your ice cream.
