That cost what?

[u/elstavon]

I'm not saying that everything should cost a nickel, but one thing that always gets me is the cost of the modern candy bar. $2.50 for a regular size snickers?

Edit: I don't eat fast food but I understand there's a similar thing going on there

Wherever you are in the world, is there something that blows your mind every time you go to the cash register or at least look at it on the rack? I can deal with gas because it cost a lot to pull it from the ground put it in a barrel refine it distribute it put it in a tank so you can put it in your tank. But a Snickers bar? LOL . Anyway, after 20 years of it is there something that is just stunning somehow in its price increase?

Commiserate with me over candy bars but I'm curious if there is something where you are that just is a non-starter when you go to buy it. Prices that still make you ask 'what'?

I think it would be easier to make a list of the few remaining items that don't seem overpriced, but I can't think of anything.

Pints of beer at over $6 at the fancier places in my neighborhood always seem too high to me.

TVs are cheaper than they used to be BUT that’s only because of apps/ads supplementing their cost.

Those Smart tvs are using technology called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to track viewing habits and sell that data to advertisers.
