You have to factor in development cost. I agree with the popcorn and water, but not greeting cards. It's not like it's an empty piece of paper. Artist, photographers, and poets need to get paid.
Did anyone else take their kids to the circus this year? One cotton candy was $13! While it did come with the worst looking hat on the planet, they did not give the option to buy it without the hat for the usual $6.50 or whatever the normal ridiculous price was. I refused to pay this and had to end up listening to my 4 year old whine for the next half hour
walmart is your friend. but a dozen for about 5 bucks. sometimes i feel crazy and i get the random surprise packages. gotta love how walmart supports safe sex.
Babies - Most overpriced product on the planet. Every single economic textbook lists children as "inferior" goods. They do nothing but eat and crap all day until they're old enough to work in a sweatshop or pull a human rickshaw. Be smart, always adopt!
Besides at a sporting event or something, how many places sell bottled water for $3? You can buy a pack of 20 for $3
soft drinks I know that the large Sodas we used to sell at Cinemarks when I worked there cost only like 9 cents to make, excluding cup and lid cost? Im sure with the cup and lid, its more like 20-30 cents. I remember we sold it for 4.50.
