Incredibly Expensive Takeout Food

[Dead2009]

What's the most expensive you've ever paid for fast food/takeout? I was with my best friend Saturday at an air show for fleet week (military thing) and she paid 16 dollars for a crab cake. 16 DOLLARS.

I once spent $90 on a ramen pizza.

Be honest, how stoned were you at the time?

Once went to a concert at what was basically an outdoor venue. The concessions were made up of only food stands. Went with the burger, it was $20 and it was terrible. Despite the price, I had no qualms with throwing it out after 2 bites. (Did eat the bun though for some sort of sustenance.)

Stoned? If I was stoned I could've eaten any old pizza. To properly appreciate a $90 ramen pizza you need to be stone-cold sober with your mental faculties at 100%.

Was last year I think in hte summer. Had skipped breakfast,forgot to have lunch or a snack. Was stuck at the venue until 10pm or later. So went up to the snack bar.

Cheeseburger that was ok,ok fries and a can of soda was 16 bucks with tax and they had a jar on the counter for tips.

Yea make better food.

And I qyoted it too.....

Myself,then wife,oldest son and younger cousin all went to Astroworld. Ate at the place in there 4 people to eat was 140 or so. And this was 2003 I think. Was burgers and fries and fancy sodas and yea the two kids got desert. I said f that and on the drive home hit a corner store and loaded up on cheap candy.

One of many reasons why I don't especially enjoy festivals and outdoor gigs, there's a Harry Enfield sketch that eruditely describes them as "ripoffs in a field". I remember seeing Bob Dylan and others at a festival in London years and years ago and being so hungry that I paid about £15 for a warm bottle of Coke, and a calzone and garlic bread that had been absolutely burnt to a crisp; if I had actually paid for the ticket I would've been seriously miffed.

And don't get me started on the cans of Heineken I saw being sold for £7 (that's the best part of $9 for all you Transatlantic people out there) at the MLB London Series a couple of weeks ago, and the £13 ($16.50) hotdogs, although from what I hear that beer is cheaper than it often is in the States.

You see them on the food network from time to time. They do shit like put gold leaf on it. “My momma said, you only need so much money. The rest is just for being a douche bag.”
