Happy Thread 5 (ice, USA, South, summer)

Speaking of beer, I am having a cold one right now!

24 packs here come as cheap as £10 which is $17 Aus dollars or about $13 US

That's on special offers, normally about £12 a crate of 24, though government is trying to stop these 'offers'

On offer, branded spirits cost about £15/litre

Happy af. Saw multiple tornados. Lightning is striking right up by my house. Crazy. Absolutely love this.

Australia's high wages offset the dumb f**k cost of beer and spirits somewhat, but it's still ****ing stupid.

A more interesting comparison would be say how many hours does a retail or factory worker need to work to purchase a mainstream 24pk?

That's awesome, mainland Europe is much cheaper than the UK, especially for spirits


Italy I was buying litre bottles of vodka for about 5 euros/£4/$6 and then you can buy 500ml cans of beer for 0.50..

Likewise in Spain, when I was in Barcelona I bought tinnies for as low as 40 cents, and a 2 litre bottle of premade 8% sangria for 2 euros Awesome stuff

Minimum wage here is £6.70 for 18-24 years olds, above 25 it is £7.20 (don't ask me why the minimum wage is higher for 25 year olds, dumb f**king idea, should be the same for all over 18)

So a 24 crate would take about 1.5 hours for me to earn on minimum wage, though most retail/factory jobs pay £1 above the minimum wage at least

Interesting measure of a wealth of a country.

2 Eggo waffles with peanut butter + a glass of milk = enough to keep me feeling full even now (like more than 3 hours later).

That'll tend to prevent overeating. I know why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day...

Interesting meal. Does sound filling.

I guess not everyone does that.

I have had waffles with peanut butter on them since I was a little kid.

I've only had it with ice cream.

I do need to find a filling breakfast so maybe I'll try that (waffles with peanut butter).
