This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Apparently it’s a Costco receipt, and their food court prices have stayed the same for a long time
Fun fact: The hot dog soda combo has been $1.50 since 1985. At one point the CEO wanted to raise the price of the hot dog and soda combo and the founder straight up told him "if you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."

I just bought a shirt that has the Hotdog and Soda pic from the menu with the quote under it.
Yes, $0.69 soda is still the current price. $1.50 for a foot-long hotdog + soda...
That Hot Dog is not a foot long.
