Hey guys, check it out, you can order a triad of the Monster cereals , (Sorry Blade no Fruit Brute). While your at it why not get some Jolt Cola and some Bloody Mary from Hell mix for Blade.

Any place that sells Moxie is cool with me...

...but $4.39 for a 2 liter of Rasperry Schweppe's? Last time I bought it, I got 2 liters for a quarter each at a discount grocery.

It seems that the place adds on about 200% of the actual price of the item.

For instance, you can easily find 12 packs of Cheerwine (a beverage that can be found in parts of the country) for about $3-4. Their price for the same 12 pack? $12. I probably would never purchase anything from them.

Awesome. Will pass that along to Mr. Russo as well.

BTW, just saw this:

www.crossroads-market.com/hard-to-find-grocer/Tony-Packos-Hot-Dog-Sauce-with-Beef-75oz/productinfo/HFSA153/

Reminds me of what may have been my favorite Prime Time ever, when Gorilla and the Brain went to Tony Packo's place in Toledo. The gimmick was they had celebrities sign hot dog buns that they would put on the walls.

Monsoon: "Here you go, Brain, sign your buns."
Heenan: "That's gonna be hard to do without a mirror!"

Man those two were great.

If you want some of that, please let me know. I'm within 20 minutes of about 3 or 4 Tony Packo's, and can get it for cheaper than that.

These people provide a service. They go out and try to find what people want and provide it.
It costs them money to do so, as does setting up the website and shipping, etc.

Business.

Understandable, but with prices like that, it'd be easier just to drive to the closest place that sold it and got some.
