For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I'd bet money it's an Australian Woolworths (it can still be a woolies at a servo though). Just pointing it out since AUD $5 ≠ USD $5
It's a woolies, and you could buy 2 and a half cokes for that price.
Yes, and that would be expensive for a single bottle (though servos are pricier), but we can't see what the actual special deal is. The cigarettes are obviously placed as a joke.
The deal is a choccy bar normally
3.16 USD
3.01 EUR
Good point. IIRC Australia also has relatively high tobacco taxes, right?
Yeah an ever increasing tax on durries. From memory a deck is upwards of $50 for 20 - probably more since I've not been on the darts for a long time now.
We've also got a massive issue with disposable vapes and black market durries now too!
Damn, that's a lot! The $5 cig-and-coke makes a lot more sense like that, that's $2.5 per cigarrette.
I used to buy 40 at the golf club (unmonitored vending machine) as a kid, selling loosies for $1. Margins were great back then.
