Walmart has a few similar things right now. But they're pissing me off with their dynamic pricing so I'll unfortunately pass.

Aww it's adorable!

I still have one of these and it currently is full of candy for Halloween!

bruh $4.99... First we too poor for glass these daze and they would try to sell this for at least $20

Harris teeter is out here selling 2 bags of m&ms in a shitty plastic jar with the cheap candy no one likes and a tiny little balloon (you know the tiny tiny ones with no helium) FOR $25. I’m vocal about how cheap and shitty I think this kind of shit is.

Dude that shit is $30 at Mariano's! Literally exact same store, same owners, same everything, it's all Kroger but get close to Chicago and raise the price.

Damn, 5 bucks? I'd assume 50 today. Honestly, I like it

They still make the jar but you gotta supply the cookies

Honestly less than I expected these days

$20 without cookies. That tracks.

Per googles inflation calculator, $5 in '86 is about $15 today. The original ad says retail price is almost $10, or per the same calc about $30 today.

$20 without cookies feels right on inflation. This aint the inflation battle to fight

Now do video games.

Inflation doesn't reflect the actual buying power of the average person.

damn

You can find stuff like that at thrift stores

I'd buy 6.
