The astonishing cost of Pret A Manger’s basic egg sandwich - available from its store yards from the White House - might just explain why Kamala Harris could lose the US election.
Pret’s egg salad and arugula sandwich costs more than $10 at her local branch, while a salmon, avocado and quinoa salad is just 20 cents shy of $20. In the UK, the equivalent sandwiches and salads are less than half the price.
Pret, which is expanding rapidly across the US with 42 branches in New York alone, seven in Washington DC and its first stores now opened on the West Coast in Los Angeles and three in Chicago.
But it is the huge gulf in prices for the same sandwiches, salads and soups on one side of the Atlantic and the other that gives just a clue as to why the incumbent vice president might not make it all the way.

Pret’s sounds like nature’s way of relieving liberals of their excess money.
I go through 2-3 dozen a week frying them at home in Kerrygold butter. I make egg sandwiches by folding them into thick slices of Swiss cheese. So very good.
Whatever it takes.
I thought outlandish spending on ordinary things a status symbol in DC?
The richest zip code in the USA is right near there, so it’s not too surprising. It’s outrageous, but not surprising.
Bidenomics is working...
The ones in Europe are great.
In our area five dollars will get you a double disciple pack if you bring your own cartons.
Yeah, full of rotten eggs.
Funniest show in TV history.
I make an outstanding egg salad. I’d put mine against Pret’s any day.
More like thr fact a dozen eggs is about $4 now
What’s your point? Most of us don’t have neighbors who sell farm fresh eggs at wholesale prices.
“A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.”
Was attributed to the late Sen. Everett Dirksen about overspending by the federal government. Many say it was not an accurate quote.
“Pret’s sounds like nature’s way of relieving liberals of their excess money.”
And excess flatulence…
I love egg salad sandwiches, but can’t eat them at work.
No one wants to be in a closed room with egg farts.
A friend’s sister had a dog named Smokey, due to his flatulence. She was pretty cautious with his diet. She lived about 80 miles away, and we’d drive over, and spend a couple of days working on a remodel. He liked to slip the dog a boiled egg when we left. About half way home, we’d get a phone call....
I can still eat a ten dollar egg sandwich but I can eat the eggs the vice president lays on a daily basis.
Let them eat egg salad?
