At the time that was a crazy high price for a milkshake, anon. Magazines at the newsstands that contained free demos with full games mistakenly put on them to play forever cost less than 5 bucks in the early 90s.
We're so fucked now it's comical.
I'm guessing you're American if the price is that good. Being a smoker in my country is like for rich people or poor people who understand their place in life.
>What the hell is a Paco?
It's a proper name, your name, so relax. >A pack of cigarettes for me is like $50.
Then quit.

My name isn't Paco so you can go fuck yourself. I won't quit but I will quit this thread. I need to go filter 20 threads full of amerimutts and shitskins and women and trannies. Reply after I'm gone.
Yes and it was in the state of Virginia which used to be the tobacco capital of America so we didnt have all the insane taxes on cigarettes. A pack now is probably $7.50 or so

it's a scoop or two of ice cream, milk, and a single cherry. it's less than a dollar of material with minimal labor required. vincent understands value because those calculations are a constant thing for someone in his line of work. only a woman who enjoys impromptu foot rubs, free drugs everywhere she goes, and is constantly partying would order a travesty such as a $5 milkshake.
>A single cherry has sold for the equivalent of £240 at an auction in Japan, confirming the country's status as the world centre of outrageously overpriced fruit.
Gourmet ice cream and shakes weren't common in the country yet. For most people, shakes were about a dollar at McDonald's. Five times the price most were accustomed to was surprising.
When I saw Pulp Fiction sometime in 1995 (missed its theatrical release) I laughed at the price and I'm sure everyone else did because we were meant to sympathize with Vince in his reaction to it. The chick was used to being rich and saw no issue.
>It's like non-GenX trying to watch Fight Club and understand anything about the movie.
You're actually retarded if you think later generations can't identify with the message
Shit has gotten worse and worse, gen y and zoomers have the exact same problems only worse
>gen y and zoomers have the exact same problems only worse
I haven't seen Fight Club but I've heard the quotes and one of them is >we're a generation of men raised by women
That would be more true for Millennials and Zoomers than Gen X so it's wrong to say only they understand the movie. The world is more feminised than it ever was. Men dress up like women now and demand others call them women; That's how bad things have gotten.
Some other problems mentioned are people drowning in debt (which is also worse), and advertisement being shoved in your face all the time. This one is much, much worse today, especially with entertainment being online.
Another one is the false idols being actors and rockstars tricking people into wageslaving while dreaming of being one.
Think of fight club being made after fucking "influencers" became a thing.
>Another one is the false idols being actors and rockstars tricking people into wageslaving while dreaming of being one.
Naw, nobody is being tricked into wageslaving and anyone that does work does so to stay alive. E-celebs and influencers makes the population more depressed because regular people can become rich by doing nothing and everyone else is slaving away. This is what the 21st century is like.
It's juxtaposition with how much he blew (10x market or something stupid) on the H in the previous scene. Did we all watch the movie or just the diner scene on YouTube, here?
A few days ago I had to wait for my sister as she paid the equivalent of about 17usd for some sort of "coffee" drink/milkshake looking thing at a Swedish starbucks
>some sort of "coffee" drink/milkshake looking thing at a Swedish starbucks
Do you mean a frappe? They have those at Starbucks. Starbucks is great but it's like twice the price of any other coffee shop. Coffee snobs will tell you it's worse too but I think it's fine.
I can't even hear the name Starbucks and not think about the time someone posted a photo of a NEET sitting naked in his room. I was tilted because he had a Starbucks coffee and a pack of cigarettes. That guy was living the life.
It shows she belongs to a VIP male richer than Vince. She is out of his league. He sounds offended, but it's about cursing that he'll never have a chance with her => builds sexual tension for their scenes.
Maybe $5 is a lot during the time that this movie takes place. How much was a pack of cigarettes? That's what I want to know.
>How much was a pack of cigarettes? That's what I want to know.
Average price was $1.92 a pack, anon.
Oh, okay. I'm paying like $2 for a single cigarette in my country. I think my country (Australia) has the highest prices.
I used to smoke, so I know, man. My city has basically made it illegal to smoke anywhere but on your own property too.
You used to smoke? Wow. I'm glad your life has meaning because I'll quit when I'm dead.
$10.25 in today's money.
I started smoking in 2002 and I could buy a pack for $3 or so
I'm guessing you're American if the price is that good. Being a smoker in my country is like for rich people or poor people who understand their place in life.
>is that good
He said 1992, Paco. A pack of cigs is like eight bucks now.
2002, Jorge
2002*
same diff really
What the hell is a Paco? Is that like a racial slur? A pack of cigarettes for me is like $50.
>What the hell is a Paco?
It's a proper name, your name, so relax.

Settle down, take a nap, Paco.

Packs were under a buck too, 25s

Ah yes, doom, vintage 1920, a fine year.
Kind of neat trick since TV would not be invented for 7 more years.
5 dollars then is equal to 38 dollars today

Yup. As weird as it sounds, Vince was the closest thing the film had to a blue collar worker and indeed he knew the costs.
The only way to justify the cost is if they used real vanilla pods instead of vanilla extract in the ice cream.
>One vanilla pod costs around 7.99 USD at common grocery stores.
Also, a different type of milk.
>Deer Milk ($80 a Gallon)
Also, a very expensive cherry.
>A single cherry has sold for the equivalent of £240 at an auction in Japan, confirming the country's status as the world centre of outrageously overpriced fruit.
You pay for location, service among others, it’s in the price via high demand. If lots of people want to eat there, prices go up
That's like $100 in 1990

Because he knew it brings all the boys to the yard.
$5 in 1994 money equals $10.26 in today money. That's the goddamn $10 milkshake.
>That's the goddamn $10 milkshake.
And that's before a tip too. So it really costs 11 or 12.
I wonder what the Zoomers that watch this are thinking, like they don't even understand the concept of the joke.
It's like non-GenX trying to watch Fight Club and understand anything about the movie.

Exactly what I thought

today i paid 4.95 quid for a chocolate fudge frappe from costco
Nice. I would forego 16 frappes and buy a fat pack of cigarettes.

I honestly don't know, I don't drink coffee or milkshakes so I was busy looking out the window at an old man with a nice dog
I didn't start paying attention until they called her name so the only thing I could think about was the fucking price when she paid
$5 is pretty outrageous for a milkshake.
ITT: re ddit faggonaggers
sex vacations to the third world were much more affordable
I really don't get this shit
I'd rather jerk off than fly around the world just to fuck some jungle monkey
Even if someone else paid I would rather stay home and fap
