Comment on Anon's dad left for cigarettes

I shudder to think what happened to them when the sandwiches finally ran out.

According to google, a sandwich in 1949 (when the original song was written) cost 4 cents. Three days trapped on a subway and you’ve already made a colossal financial mistake.

Yeah, but they (presumably) already paid for the bread. The issue is that the worker in the family is on the MTA.
