How can Dunkin Donuts and convenience stores tell me with a straight face that this cost 2 dollars? its extremely small and you can only get like 3 gulps out of it. Why??? it doesnt even taste that good, pretty bitter. Plus with the warnings about drinking orange juice it doesnt seem worth it.

The great thing is you can tell them exactly how you feel by NOT BUYING IT.

Off the top of my head, red grapefruit. I know its price varies by season, but when it's a $1 for one grapefruit, I'm usually pretty annoyed. I buy them anyway though.

I love chicken wings but are they ever expensive. buying them at a restaurant has become a lesson in futility as they will chop one wing in half then charge you a buck per piece, as some one who can easily go through several dozen wings at around $15 a dozen i cant afford it, i remember the old days when wings were 10 cents each and you'd hand the waitress $5 and a bring em on.

Hershey's candy. Now that they are manufactured in Mexico, you'd think they'd be cheaper. Of course, the fact that they are made in Mexico makes me rethink buying any Hershey's products at all.

Most spices. If you haven't purchased something in a while you are really in for sticker shock!
