“This is $2.19 and this is $1.59,” she says, “so I’m going to buy this.”

Holy crap. I’’d been an adult for almost 50 years before this lightbulb went off! What a revelation!

Walking past a shelf of items labeled "Real Bacon Bits" next to packages of imitation bacon bits, Rios doesn't hesitate. "This is $2.19 and this is $1.59," she says, "so I'm going to buy this."
