The comment section is the reason we have $9 Oreos and $11 packs of soda. Enough people buy shit at insane prices to sustain companies. Eventually everyone finds their wtf-prices

I got a Sodastream and a big tank of gas from the fire extinguisher place, and a cheap kit on Amazon to rig it up. Lol thats how long ago buying soft drinks at the grocery store pissed me off . And yeah those Oreos.. and the quality of things, I used to actually like Kraft Dinner once in a while... But they quadrupled the price and swapped out the actual noodles for whatever the hell there's way less of in the box now. We have learned a lot of things we can just make at home as prices have gone up. Including snooty coffee lol

Kraft mac & cheese the noodles started shredding on us like just kind of falling apart when being cooked. I have found that signature select brand which is Vons, pavilions, Albertson’s, etc., are much better surprisingly enough.
