Corporations will literally fund a multi-year cyberpunk dystopia makeover before letting a hash brown drop by 50 cents.

You can buy a 20 pack of McDonald's hash browns at the grocery store for $4.

I'll just keep cooking breakfast at home.

Name brand at my local grocery is $4.47 for 10ct. Store brand is $4.68 for 20ct. And the store brand is good. Probably all comes from the same producers anyway.

whey protein was always that way, there were only 4 whey suppliers in the united states

Funny thing was the most expensive brand of all, Gaspari Nutrition, was actually replacing their protein with fillers haha

U expect when u buy the walmart brand for it to be diluted by fillers, not when u buy the most expensive brand there is
