Explanation: Braided and serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggest this nebula's popular name, The Medusa Nebula.

Thus, the true prices of Hillside products are astronomical — $2.58 for ramen, $6.90 for saltines, $7.29 for garlic. Hillside’s Grubhub menu (yes, Hillside is on Grubhub for some reason) allows one to explore this capitalistic wet dream where prices are often double...
