Mock me as you will, but what are the numbers after each description?

Even for the US, I'm guessing they aren't giving a kid 8 cheeseburgers.

The price. Fancy places don't bother with the $.

It helps divorce "number" from "price" so diners are more likely to spend more.

The less price information, the fancier the place.

$9.99: slop for the plebs
$10: good enough for lunch
10: you can take a date here

Yeah it's because it's transposed from "Concert C" to B Flat for many wind instruments. Somebody with a better memory for theory class can tell us why it wasn't A#

Because A# major would have 10 sharps, a pretty impressive feat for a scale with only 7 notes.

This is closer to reality imo. At least in America. What's a Jimmy John's sandwich think it's doing costing 20 dollars.

8 pounds of cheeseburgers is a lot of food. I don't think a kid could eat that, even an American kid

Common mistake. It's the Mexicans who have something to prove about breaking spaghetti.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Not me. I make fun of them for being smelly.
