I can't believe...

[DarlingBri]

...I just paid the equivilant of $8.25 for a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. £4.99 at my local market.

I also can't believe that with each bite, I could care less what I paid for it. This stuff is amazingly good, especially if you haven't had it in 4 or 5 years.

How much is it in the US, out of curiosity?

$4.50 here. Plus 7.150% sales tax. I usually get Breyers since I eat ice cream like I have a hole in my neck.

We hit a sale the other day -- two for $5.00.

Needless to say, the medicine chest is stocked.

 

[Whispersecret]

Since I look like I'm going to give birth (and I'm not pregnant) I'm laying off ice cream for a long while. Just don't talk about Cherry Garcia. <wails>

 

[DarlingBri]

Bastards.

Can I just repeat...

EIGHT DOLLARS AND TWENTY FIVE CENTS.

Two for $5 almost makes it worth living under a Republican administration. Almost.

My poison is Chubby Hubby and I've been a good girl and stayed away from it for quite some time.

No, two for $5.00 makes it bearable to live with a Republican president in the White House. I can't even contemplate the symbolism of living under one. Eeeewwww.

God. I think I need some Snafu right now.

 

[Dillinger]

fnord?

 

[DarlingBri]

I just figured out that gas (petrol) is $5.32 a gallon here.

 

[Dillinger]

Gas? Doesn't do anything for me. It doesn't have that creamy texture that ice cream does and it only comes in 3 flavors...

 

[FlamingoBlue]

We get it for free in the U.S.

Okay, so I lied, but who cares? What's the cost of a $2.00 cookie if you crave it?? And a pint of B&J's at $2.50 a pint?? Who the fuck cares???? We're not talking about a BMW or a JAG. These are thesimple pleasures, so who cares how much they cost, as long as we can afford to buy them.

*sigh* who knew banana-flavored ice cream with nuts in it could be so damn delicious?

 

[~melia~]

Half Baked is so good, I don't care if I have to pay 4.99 for a pint.
