We're cooked.

Edit:

General consensus is the movie took place around 1982. $5 then would be almost $20 now, possibly more.

Would you buy it?

Wendy's, Jack in the Box, In-n-Out, Raising Cane's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, and Foster Freeze all are cheaper by almost 2 dollars. I didn't check Taco Bell; do they even have shakes?

I wonder if it has anything to do with how local the dairy itself is. I am in the central valley of california surrounded by dairy farms.

Maybe. Chicago is fairly high CoL, but so is CA. And we have a lot of dairy just north of the cheddar curtain, it's usually priced either the same as other goods or cheaper.

Taco Bell has some abomination of a cookie flavored slurpee, I think it’s the closest they’ve gotten. It’s four bucks.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
