It was slightly smaller than an average impersonal watermelon but not like handheld size. At $8 I didn't bother to weigh it.

Anyway, apparently personal watermelons are bred to be sweeter and have thinner rinds, or something.

is it seedless? seedless melons are loving trash, like watery mulch piss

the only good melon is a seeded one ime

Have you considered simply having 50% less need for seizure controlling medication, as the free market is signaling you ought to do, or do I have to think of everything?

They is an expectation of inflation so they can keep on pushing prices, and there is so little choice, so every one either has accept it or starve.

Pretty much. There was some actual inflation for real reasons like the war, climate change ruining harvests, supply chain etc.

But that would warrant like a 10% increase, but since they already have the media crowing nonstop about inflation they figure they can just up the ante, and the producer and retailer both get to gouge.

there's no such thing as gouging except during disasters or emergencies. this is just raising the price until people run out of disposable income. when 24y/o tech workers making 225k refuse to spend less than $3000/month on food then companies have a blank check to charge whatever they want

it's cool that more people are making better money but in a ~free market~ this was inevitable

Possible rat contamination. Little assholes love malt and grains and stuff and we stay diligent but haven't been able to completely get rid of 'em yet. Every now and then they get into a bag and we have to pull it and thoroughly clean everything around it. With our little deal it's nice to know it's actually being reused as animal feed instead of of dumped since it's not fit for human consumption
