12oz of string cheese is like $5. it's individually wrapped 1oz sticks.

16oz brick of cheese is $3.

12 slices of Kraft chedder cheese is like $2.

wow, make it round instead of flat like cheese slices and you can charge a huge premium.

:Q

Yeah, bottled water definately takes the cake, especially if you're buying it at Dodger Stadium where they sell for $5.00 a bottle.

It falls from the sky, runs across the ground, and comes from the ground. Definitely expensive stuff. :)

the best part is that dasani, deja blu, and aquafina are simply tap water that's been reverse-osmosis filtered. it's no different than what comes out of my parents' fridge.

The stuff coming out of your parents' fridge is likely better, bottled water tastes too plasticy IMHO.

So I'm not the only one who notices that bottled water tastes a bit funny.

Milk that comes in plastic tastes weird too. The only way I can stand it that way is if it's with chocolate syrup, or mixed into a recipe.

In Germany during the World Cup events beer was sold for a euro while the same amount of water was three euros.

It's back to the dark ages where we drink beer instead of water, yey.

Dasani and Aquafina have always tasted plasticy to me, I avoid them when I can. Ice Mountain, Nestle, ZephyrHills (when I'm in FL), Evian, and Fuji are sooo much better :D

Beer at a sporting event for only a euro? Wow. They must want people to get drunk off their asses and riot!

Stuff that comes in plastic STILL tastes better than stuff that comes in aluminum, IMHO.

Glass is really the best way to package beverages...too bad it's so uncommon in this country:(

My favourite is the bottled water company which started adding flavors to its water. OMG that jsut crazy, its like wow look at us we invented flavored water! Of course thats what every other drink in the world is, but lets not mention that.
