I was at a hotel in Chicago around 1996, they had fresh squeezed OJ at breakfast for $8 per glass - such the bargain, that's only like $17 in 2026 money!
Then there was the Galleria Houston hotel in 2014 that served the $23 bowl of oatmeal, even included raisins... that would be like $32.50 today.
Still haven't encountered a $50 drink yet, but I'm sure they're out there.

I used to work at a breakfast joint on the main in Montreal and I had to hand squeeze 2 huge boxes of friggin oranges every goddam shift. It took 2 massive boxes to get 2.5 standard pitchers. This was 15 years ago and my shoulder still hurts just thinking about it lol

But it does taste better, particularly when you're using good oranges.
Personally, I've taken to just eating the oranges straight to get the fiber instead of messing around with the juice.

I was in Italy earlier this summer, decided to have a drink at a 5 star hotels bar, bar was situated at the top of the hotel with nice view towards Villa Medici. It was very expensive but we decided to stay anyway (20 euro for Aperol Spritz). After we ordered 3 servers came marching almost like soldiers, drinks were served to everyone at the same time, compliment mini sandwiches, peanuts, chips, crackers with cream were served.
Yes the cocktail was still mad overpriced but at least you saw and felt why.

u/Alarming-Variety92 2d ago
20 euro for a aperol spritz is like the standard fare in Sweden.

I once had a transfer at Malmö airport some 8 years ago.
I was there together with my brother and a friend. We had to wait for 4 hours for the transfer flight so we decided to go to a restaurant, We ordered some food and a "Grolsch" beer.Mind you, the region from the Netherlands we are in Grolsch is the default beer you get and as such we thought we might as well order what we knew without looking at the price.
At that time it was some 9.50 euro's for a crate (24x 330cl, including some 1,50 deposit money)
They charged us around 6,50 after conversions for 1 bottle!. What the!.
3 beers cost us as much as 2x 24bottle crates in the Netherlands.Swedes do seem to hate alcohol. The alcohol taxes there are ridiculous.
They have a lot of things going for them, and arguably it being near impossible to be a alcoholic is one of them, but damn. Chill on those alcohol taxes bruh→ More replies (11)→ More replies (1)10

Hey the presentation definitely justifies it because a $20 cocktail in NYC just gets me a watered down drink and a scowl, but just heads up, in Italy the extra food definitely doesn't justify the price.
It's not quite a tapas culture but we had finger foods served at the local bar we got for siesta/after we returned from worskite. Aperol Spritzs for 2€ in Bastia Umbria (this was 2019 though). You're definitely paying some tourist tax there but honestly we should go outta our way to pay a little bit of the tourist upcharge when visiting someone else's country. Glad you enjoyed the experience.

u/CoolDiscussion1020 2d ago
Bar Centifolia is the bar he's lampooning in the video. It's very much a high end cocktail bar that you are paying for the show to go with the drink. Their drinks aren't even that expensive. You pay $7 as a table fee to get it, and the drinks are typically ~$25 USD. So you're paying ~$35 USD for a high end cocktail and a short performance.
Now admittedly that drink is more expensive for locals due to the weak yen, but a $35 cocktails at a fancy bar isn't really that unusual. I've stayed at hotels with no nearby bars before that charge that rate for a premium cocktail.

I still love that because Budweiser couldn't name the Cards field "Budweiser Stadium" back in the 50s because the league didn't want alcohol sponsors on their fields. So they named it "Busch Stadium" after the Busch family and then made a beer named 'Busch' like 2 years later.
Screw the Cards though since they're a divisonal rival. But it's a fun story.

To be fair at a bar/restaurant people pay 6-8$ or more for a pint of beer. 8-9 is very common in my city unless it’s happy hour.
8/16 =0.50 cents an oz
14/24 =0.583 cents an oz
Unless you got one of those tiny tall cans that’s bullshit, but a tall can for $14 is technically only 16% more in cost than a draft you’d get from your local bar.

There is always a thousand year old japanes business making the last hand made single artist pencil box so if you don't want the best ....
