If the most expensive apples sell for $3.50 a pound, that would make the $7 apple 2 pounds, which that apple certainly wasn’t..most are 1/3 a pound at most.

I tried to google whether apples in NY are really $7. Couldn’t find a thing. Probably just a stunt to get attention and not grounded in reality.

It's not just the Parkway. It's some of those smaller roads going into northern Madison County, or taking 72 East through Gurley.

Sugarbee apples are about $3.50/lb here. That's a fat apple she's holding. Probably more than a pound in weight.

Aside from the apple, and inflation, I see a lot of women in these videos with horrible pottymouths. What's going on? It's very unbecoming and indicative of bad parenting.

Why are they so comfortable speaking that way knowing the Internet never forgets?
She's easy on the eyes but annoying as hell to listen to what with all the f's, fg's etc.

Makes me appreciate the lady I married even more.

She’s not doing anything wrong.

She’s not violent or inflammatory. She’s not threatening or trying to intimidate. She’s not defaming anyone.

Women are allowed to swear, in the year of Our Lord 2024. If you don’t like it, there’s plenty of SM of those demure ladies who don prairie dresses and bake endless pies, posting dreamy pictures of their long hair in the sunlight and toddler on the hip, longing for the days on the farm where they can float around in trad wife bliss (never acknowledging the cow poo all around, both literally and figuratively).

Perhaps those women are more your speed, no need to chastise as I’m sure their obedience to the menfolk has already cubed their tongues.

There’s all sorts of women out there who won’t offend one’s delicate sensibilities.
Spoken like no father of daughters ever.

She could grow her own apple, of course that would take years and she would have to register her tree with the federal government.

I hope she is just doing a 'character' here. Otherwise, that is a red flag. I wouldn't wanna be her spouse stuck with that every day.

Coming home, complaining about apples like I did it.
That's "Uptalking"- it's quite common among liberals. Given that they lack confidence and are unsure of their position, every statement is posed as a question.

It's just another irritating characteristic of libs. Others are "far standers", who stand ten feet behind the next person in line (pre-Covid) so you can't tell whether they are in line or not, and obsession with correcting spelling errors, which shows their "intellectual superiority" by exhibiting command of the trivial.

Of course, the main characteristic of liberals is ALWAYS wanting everyone else to know THEIR position (on anything) and ruining social occasions by always talking about politics.

Quite miserable, unhappy people in general.

It's $3.99/lb so it was a big apple.

Can she not do math ? Does she know how to use a scale ?

Buy boujee apples....pay boujee prices.

A smart person would have just put it back.

A really smart person wouldn't be shopping in "Whole Paycheck"

There was a thread by a guy crying about grocery prices being insanely high in the US.

After pinning them down they admitted to shopping at Whole Foods in Tampa and then I googled it and found the same prices they'd paid in Europe at the Walmart 3 blocks away from it.

So, I can absolutely see an apple for $7 at a boutique grocer labeled organic, cruelty free, hand picked artisinal by people with masters degrees in horticulture.
