Bidenomics: Man Sparks Internet Outrage After Paying $9.35 For A Diet Coke At Six Flags

2024-07-04

[Zero] Just when you've thought you've seen the worst, most egregious examples of inflation rearing its head, we give you: Six Flags.

The theme park was in the news this week after a customer went viral for spending $9 for a single Diet Coke at the park's concessions, as was reported by DailyDot.

Guyset (@theguyset) posted a viral video on TikTok expressing shock over paying $9.35 for a Diet Coke at Six Flags, showing his receipt as proof. Despite the high price, he bought it. He noted in the caption that both he and the cashier were stunned by the cost.

Other TikTokers shared similar experiences of high prices at amusement parks, concerts, and airports. One user recalled paying $12 for M&Ms at a concert, while another mentioned spending $15 on a small bag of jerky at an airport.

#9 No. As much as I dislike the current group of congresscritters. Civilian control is requisite for legitimacy. See: Rome

#6 Explain the Justice?
Worthless US Dollar bills by the 100's of 1000's each day.

Congress has spent $34++ Trillion more than the US Treasury has even printed.

Given, the US Dollar is backed by NAME ONLY and worthless.

Why is it,if you or I printed that same Worthless US Dollar we'd go to jail?

#5 The profit margin on drinks is really high. It is what keeps a lot of restaurants and convenience stores in business.

#4 /\ Is this why a three year old F-150 with 75,000 miles still costs $46,000 ?

#3 It's not overpriced - you paper money is worthless everyday. Basic Econ 101 - you print billions without backing, the value of what you got is worth billions less.

Theme Parks are pricing or perverting themselves out of business.

A bottle of Diet Coke at the checkout line cooler has gone from $1.39 to $2.69 in about 1 year.

We now laugh and ask the cashier where the loan dept is.
