Sorry, Coupon? You motherfuckers picked “Coupon” for PA, when Blue Ball is right there? Right there next to Intercourse?? Not Bird-In-Hand? Not Needmore?? Have you BEEN to Needmore? There’s nothing there! It needs more attention!
Also shoutouts to Jersey Shore, PA, which is in north central PA and does not have any notable bodies of water or shores.
why the HELL did they pick Chili for Wisconsin when we have a town called Spread Eagle? it’s right there
This guy has a point, and I’m going to hammer it home for a lot of y’all who weren’t alive (or were babies) then. Here are some prices from my hometown in 1995. These are all things that are still sold today and if you want a one-to-one comparison you can look up current prices in Pennsylvania.
A LOAF OF GOOD BREAD: 69 cents
A GALLON OF GAS: 95 cents
A GALLON OF MILK: 79 cents
TWO COMBO MEALS AT TACO BELL: $8 and change
A HERSHEY BAR: 60 cents or two for a dollar
THE NEW YORK TIMES: 35 cents on weekdays, 50 cents on Sundays
A PACK OF RAMEN: ten cents but sometimes they’d also do 20-for-a-dollar sales
A BOTTLE OF WHITE RAIN SHAMPOO: 89 cents
A LARGE PACK OF GUM: 79 cents
You might be noticing only one item on this list is over a dollar. And if you know this is how it was more or less until I was 12, me still thinking ten dollars is a lot of money probably makes a lot more sense.
Incorporate this into your wage activism, because prices were like that for A REALLY LONG TIME, and for like five years after Dubya shot that to shit he also sold us the lie that these higher prices were an anomaly and would drop back down.
