On behalf of the cannabis industry, you're welcome.
Just one article but it kind of reinforces the idea that if we stop buying “it,” “it” will stop skyrocketing in price:
Beer drinking in America falls to the lowest level in a generation
The boycott of Bud Light was just one factor in a year of industrywide declines.www.nbcnews.com
Bananas are $10
That was a different user with a very similar name. But funny callback! I should probably create a new name haha
Hmm. I routinely see pints at breweries for 10 bucks. Those same beers were like 5 or 6 bucks a few years back
Bananas and how damn cheap they are is bonkers. It's like 19 cents for a banana at Trader Joes. 19 cents!
Some of the other Restaurant Guys can chime in, but some restaurant math I have used:
This is what I have always heard too. Except at really nice places you can get some for less than that ratio where they'll Coravin the thing, so you're paying for Coravin use (i.e. argon capsules) and closer to one glass is half or sometimes less than half the bottle.
Yeah, those are usually fancy cocktails, not an Aperol spritz. Cost for the restaurant must be like $2 for the ingredients and it doesn't take a pro mixologist to make one.
i get that prosecco is being used, but it is what, 3 oz of liquid and a glass of ice?
much more popular in the US over the past 5-10 yrs
Absolute steal for sure
You'll appreciate this:
"I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?"
we hit a local rum distillery last week. Their cocktails were good, but at $14-17 each we just got one. They provided a tour with samples for free, so that was nice. We gave a good tip.
Mostly correct. Except that cheap bottle in a really casual spot costs the restaurant $4. Maybe less
. Sorry. The pro mixologist got me. . We have a ridiculous cocktail list that is put together by the bar manager and one of his guys who is a true dork, I mean pro mixologist. He creates the drinks but doesn’t bartend much.
Maybe 6-8oz. And an orange scrap. Don’t forget the orange scrap
that scrap is key
True. Less sticker shock on selling a pint of Miller Lite for $3:50 from $3 vs a call Old Fashioned at $15
I know man, but these guys already edgy about this stuff, I'm trying to ease them into it.
The one we went to looked exactly like it did in the 90s when my dad dragged us there then too. Had to be the same carpet.
Back in the late 90’s me and a buddy must have put Red Lobster on the path to bankruptcy with their all you can eat crab legs. It was “Crabby Tuesdays” or something like that.
That's not why, but they did take a bath on that promotion
Crazy to me that this is considered a value now.
I was just talking about this with my daughter. It's crazy they can harvest, transport, distribute these things that have such a short shelf life and still make money at these prices.
Whoever got the two middle pieces most likely ended up with a sloppy mess.

I fed a hungry family of 4 and got two beers for what amounted to like 16 bucks a person. That would have been a value 15 years ago

Did you pass the burrito around or cut it up into 4 pieces :gasp: asking for a friend… @Scoresman
It works fine. Take a couple bites and pass it down the line. Everyone gets some guac bites, some all rice bites, etc. It all works out
Double IPA's from a local brewery called Blackstack

What kind of beers?
It's a fascinating story. Heard a podcast about the rise of Chiquita banana company and how the guy bought up all the railroads that surrounded the banana trees and was able to get those bananas back to the US and sell them cheaper than apples which were grown locally. Can't find the link to the podcast, but it was great. May have also touched on how the bananas we eat today are very different than the ones our grandparents ate. And these cavendish bananas are likely going to go extinct at some point and we will have a new variety. Apparently all these bananas are just clones of themselves so very susceptible to diseases
.... and they quac and sour cream may not be even as well.
I shared the burrito with my wife and two kids. Not that I mind sharing a beverage or a sandwich/burrito with friends either
