Sign of the apocalypse #937- LC $5 hot-n-ready pizzas now cost $5.55

I also heard the Dollar Store is becoming the Dollar Fiddy store.

It took me WAY longer than it should have to realize that dollar stores are essentially just inflation-adjusted five-and-dimes from back in the day.

By the way, I can still tell you to this day what a GI Joe figure cost at my local Ben Franklin dime store when I was a kid: $3.23 ($2.99 + 4% sales tax).

edited to add: That might be the most old man thing I’ve said in my life thus far

One big downside to all of this inflation is that I have to listen to everyone’s 4 cents in here now.

Every $1.20 counts just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Does this mean that Rihanna is now a quarter rather than a dime?

I think inflation is really going to screw with the cannabis smokers. What’s a dime bag now? What’s a quarter? How do you measure this out? Does weed inflate too? Or is it just like, the money you pay for it man?

I’d assume that they’ve kept the old terminology and everyone changed their expectations to match what they are actually getting. Kind of like how you still say you are going to the home improvement store to pick up some 2x4s, even though they haven’t actually measured a full 2 inches by 4 inches for quite some time.

It’s going to be weird listening to the new Outkast. Andre3356 doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

What’s next? Strippers requiring $2 dollar bills when I make it rain?

Those are exponentially harder to find. :rofl:

True. But throwing quarters up there seems dangerous

Some of us like to call that “Making it hail”.

It would be hard to justify tossing fivers on the stage when you know each one is only 55 cents away from being a pizza. I hope Cinnamon and Destinee will understand.

Just throw the pizzas at the strippers!

Heard that Nevaeh is a popular name now….
Heaven spelled backwards… :grimacing:

8 slices at $5.55 comes out to about a $1.44 per slice. That’s a raise from the normal dollah dollah bills.

EDIT: I did my math backwards. It’s definitely a downgrade in pay by the tune of $.30. :rofl:

That may be the hottest thing ever said on this board.

I’m guessing Sausage is the preferred topping…

Little Sleazers pizza is The McDonald’s of the industry.

LC is a good cheap pie. Not their fault that some of you have shit for taste buds and have to rip on something that has helped the wings and Tigers.
