  I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don’t actually need it that bad

    Unfortunately I need to be gluten free.

    Which makes it a $35 cheesecake thats also smaller. Fuck you shoprite, and fuck you gastrointestinal system in my body.

      I know the pain. Reminds me of my last road trip, where the best hot food option available was a pizza place that charged an extra $4 for a chickpea crust. $19 for a tiny, shittier pizza. No, thanks. Doritos and soda FTL.

      I’m not gluten free, bur I hate cheesecake. Just add sugar to old cream cheese with no crust. Problem solved.

    That’s way too much for cheesecake, who’s your cake guy?

  • protist@retrofed.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The main ingredient in cheesecake is cream cheese, and you need like 2 lbs (32 oz) for an average cake, so that’s immediately like $9 before all other ingredients

      yeah my mom makes cheesecakes to sell and never goes under 30 bucks. but i can guarantee it will be the best cheesecake of your life, and that is independantly verified

      At LiDL or Aldi an 8 oz. brick of cream cheese is like $1.50, so a little less. What blows my mind is that a 16 oz. plastic tub of cream cheese is like $8 at most places. Like, why the fuck does the plastic tub make it 5X as expensive?

    Key lime pie is our benchmark, a new brand will appear for $7.99 or something, and then 3 weeks later they hike the price up to $14. I am not eating a $14 key lime pie from Kroger. Fuck right off with that.

    It’s funny tho how junk food like pies, cakes, and especially CANDY have taken such an inflationary hike - it’s definitely got me eating better, and I am kind of glad for it (and we prove yet again that excise taxes work towards public health, these ones were just done for profit instead of funding waterways or clean air or some shit).

    My local grocery store’s bakeshop sometimes puts up an 8-inch boston cream cake for only $12. I don’t know why it’s so cheap (a similar sized chocolate cake is $18-$22), but I can’t stop myself from buying it when it’s available. I can’t believe a cake that good costs just $12.

    Cake mix is $5.

  • PapaStevesy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Idk, depends how good it is. In today’s market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.

    I run often, and unfortunately it’s a lot harder to stay thin as I’m pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.

    Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn’t burn the calories the same. If you’re a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there’s diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says “hey, this is my new normal,” and essentially burns the same calories whether you’re on the couch or exercising. There’s a lot more nuance to it in the video.

    It seems we’re all doomed to just get old.

    Yep, if I really want cake I’ll pay the ridiculous price for a single slice. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s cheaper than buying a whole cake, and I know after that one piece I won’t want anymore for a long time.

  One time I was promised cake if I just did a series of tests on a prototype, though the tests seemed more like they were testing my problem solving skills rather than the prototype itself.

  Anyways, the cake was great, so delicious and moist.

  It was overall a very rewarding experience that I recommend everyone sign up for.

    I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we’re in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don’t do it because you don’t want to (because you know you shouldn’t), it would blow their minds. You’re growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking “if you can” and start thinking “if you should”.

  When I was kid, I loved bananas, but my mom wouldn’t buy them because she felt they were too expensive, so bananas became even more rare and precious to me.

  I grew up, got my own place, and did my own grocery shopping. I remember walking through the grocery store, and passing the bananas, thing they were too expensive, but I noticed they were 69 cents a pound. That didn’t seem so much, so I weighed a few, and it was less that 2 pounds. I could buy a bunch of bananas for $1.50! That wasn’t so much!

  So I bought the bananas. That was many years ago, and I still buy bananas almost every shopping trip. That preciousness still exists though. Whenever I eat a banana, it feels like I’m eating a candy car.
