Don't get fooled by the price vs quantity these days.. i.e Papa John

AT first, I was thinking that the XL3 pizza is at least 20-25 inches in diameter long instead I only got a 16" one. Man.. 10 years ago, a medium size pizza would be today's small and a large pizza would be today's XXL pizza. They cannot fool me..

Another great example was that one day I went to supply some chips and find that a bag of 4-5 oz cost more than a dollar. Back in 15 years ago, I remembered clearly that a bag of 6.0 oz durito cost one buck. rip off

Back around 1964 or so, my pop would give me a buck and send me off to the corner store to get him three packs of Viceroy non-filtered cigarettes. And yes, Mr. Ray would sell them to me because he knew my pop would tan my hide if he caught me smoking them. There would be 11¢ leftover from the ciggy purchase, just enough for me to buy a dime icee and then put a penny in my piggy bank.

Now, what was it you were saying about 16" pizzas today?

I remember buying cigarettes for my dad in the late 70's and they were 50c a pack.

It is funny how they said it is a 10 slice pizza. One of them slices are ONLY TWO INCHES WIDE IN LENGTH.

In the next 20 years, a large pizza would be 1 inch in diameter.

What is there not to get? Its an increase of 35-45 cents for a bag of chips? Seems standard, what am I missing?
