Or 69 freedom buckaroos for 22 pounds of rice

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

That's insane to think about. I usually buy a 20 lb bag of Thai Jasmine rice for a little over $20 her in the US. I think I would seriously break down and cry if I had to pay almost $70.

Did I mention they have massive tariffs on foreign rice specifically so it doesn't outcompete more expensive Japanese rice?

so basiclaly they shot themselves in the foot. much with cheaper EVs,.

1kg bags in Germany cost 2.50 Euro for Jasmin, 3 for Basmati. One Euro for cheap parboiled. All discounter store brand. Risotto 2 Euro, that stuff is grown in Italy.

...10kg prices are practically identical, or better put if you shop at a place than sells 10kg bags suddenly the 1kg bags are expensive.

cobra chicken

I've never heard them called that before, but it's so perfect. I call them little dinosaurs, because if you piss one off, it becomes very clear that they are descended from terrifying ancient beasts.

Cobra chicken is a new one to me! Very fitting. 🤣
