That’s when they’ll add in the mystery meat. And, you’ll like it, comrade.

They will rename them sliders.

Before hamburgers they had meatball sandwiches that took longer to cook. A customer said he was in a hurry so the cook flattened his meat ball and the slider/burger was born, along with White Castle.

Too much money chasing too few goods. Liquidity is being showered down on people who do not have the good sense to come in out of the rain. No matter how much they are simply GIVEN, they end up spending every penny of it, whether wisely or not.

Yesterday, our fav/ local chain grocery store was out of all liquid laundry detergents and basically any big size laundry detergent and home cleaning products. They had a sale on most of these products with the pr leaks about shortages in late May/early June.

Canned and ready to eat veggies, meats and fish were going out faster than they could be restocked.

Cookies with a long dating were being cleared out and big bottles of good wine. Of course paper products were being bought as fast as they were restocked.

Weird items like frozen tater tots and Klondike bars were sold out. Butter and whipped cream were basically gone.

“Smaller amounts and same price.”

Exactly. Like how a 48 oz can of coffee is now 30 oz, and a half gallon of ice cream is now 48 fl oz

“I’ve already notice gas is up 50+Cents since Bine was installed.

In the North Bay area of Frisco, many feel that we will be paying $5+/gallon+ for reg. gas.

I’m seeing smaller containers and increase in price...not a high increase, but every two to three months, an increase of fifty cents. I’ve got some old WalMart receipts and I’m going to compare soon.

Since gasoline has gone up, will plastics, etc go up also?

Yep. That’s the first trick used. Smaller Buns. Thinner patties. Hoping you
won’t notice and get angry.

The only true 1/2 gallon ice cream is Blue Bell. And there are fewer brands of bacon in 1 pound packs - just Oscar Meyer and Black Label
