Prices have inflated so much over the past 10 years that a $20 bill buys as much as $5 did back then.

    and the price of noodles hasn’t gone up much

    From 8.3 cents per package to 33.3 per seems like a jump that qualifies as “much”. And if you get it on scamazon it’s 62.9 cents per.

    This is based off the cost of a 24 pack of Maruchan chicken ramen packets.

      I won’t lie, I haven’t really kept up too much with the price of noodles over the past decades, but I loosely recall them going for somewhere around 18 cents a pack back around 10 years ago.

      Yeah, even those numbers don’t sound wallet happy, but hey, at least we don’t have to worry about pennies anymore, so of course everything rounds up right?

      Fuck. ☹️
