But then they don't have inflation in socialist countries, especially when they
barrow and print up money,do they?

Subject: [FairfieldLife] Growing inflation shrinking food packages
Last night I walked by the beverage section of the local supermarket I
noticed cute little pop cans. My how they have shrunk! Seems that in
order to fool the public they are just packing food stuff and junk foods
in smaller packages or even the same size package but more air. Corn
chips which used to sell for $2 a pound are now $2 for 12 ounces. Even
Starbucks has jumped into the act with their mini-snacks which look
like lollipops. Now that they have to put the calorie count on their
pastries we learn that indeed a small muffin can have 400+ calories and
cost almost $2. Most muffins that size should only have between 150-240
calories. Think is I can walk across the parking lot to the bagel cafe
and get a muffin twice the size but probably the same calories for
$1.50. Oh and espresso there is on $1.50 for a two shot drink (almost
as much as SB's shrunken 3 shots).
So hilarious to see who big business rapes the public to make money.
Ain't capitalism grand!
