money matters

a little story:
we were at wonderland this weekend to ride bee-hee... bee-he-mouth? behemoth! and the people who took over from paramount have done some smart things. like strategically placing dirnk machines in the ride cues. now we all know that EVERYTHING there is ridiculously over-priced and we're just like deal with it! that's the price of going to wonderland. the new drink-of-choice to sell to the masses is this vitamin water junk... get this: they wanted you to shell out like $4.50 far about half a litre! that's $10 a litre! that's like 7.5 times the price of gas at $1.35/L! this is the same argument that comes up about bottled water... you can usually purchase a 250 mL bottle for $1 (although, there's no way you'd get that good a deal at wonderland) making it $4/L - 3 times the price of gas! if you want to make yourself feel better about the price of gas, just remember this little story and think about what a great deal you're getting!
