Quoted from Jamesays:Cokes were 10cents when I was a kid,Boy has there been some mismanagement up in here since then.
If you purchase the Walmart off-brand 40 packs, it comes out to around 30 cents a can. Not TOO bad!

Quoted from radium:Yeah guess I'm just too dumb and ignorant and don't understand how gas prices were $1.87/gallon a couple years ago since it's impossible! Welp, gonna go put some more of this red paint on my neck, bye!
Yeah, it certainly sounds like it. You aren't doing yourself any favors by proclaiming you don't want to know why. Gas prices began rising in April of 2020, as a result of the Covid pandemic. Gas prices haven't been as low as 1.87 in decades. Not in CA anyway. Can't remember it in CO being that either.

Yeah, and I used to be able to buy Black Knights for 300 and Fathoms for 700. Major screwup by somebody!

You guys all know how to fix this nudge nudge wink wink!
If you do the thing that I've finally figured out I can't talk about things will change! If you get my drift!
Gas will be so cheap they won't even charge for it (like before you know what happened!)
This entire conversation reminds me of a story we read in grade school about baseball players who had names like "Who" and "I don't know". Lmao. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Right there with ya buddy. When I was a kid candy bars were like 15 or 20 cents. And then they just like jumped to 35 cents in maybe a years time. And they still haven’t come back down. Effing Carter. Or was it Reagan? Screw ‘‘em both.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:This thread isn't about who is responsible for plummeting gas prices and looming even cheaper gas prices is in the future. We aren't trying to give anybody credit for this, we are just basking in the falling prices!
It's just about the question: Will dropping gas prices cause you to buy more NIB games?
So far the answer seems to be: It doesn't matter. If gas prices are high, we buy pinball machines. If gas prices are dropping like a rock, we buy pinball machines.
I'm glad that I did this thread! It answered the question!
I just figured most of us were addicts so we will buy when prices are low and cut corners to keep buying when prices are high. Heck, I figure if we could have our tombstones modeled after a backglass we would do that too!

I love that sentiment!
