Seriously, how the fuck are they measuring this? I just went out with friend to a nice spot downtown and spent about $40 for dinner and 3 drinks

In Seattle land, that's 3 tap waters and two thirds of one entree

Hey, at least the water's good.

True, most water comes from mountain reservoirs.

Where I am, it is $5 for each refillable soda at Denny's, and a plate is about $18. Before considering things like a tip, or appetizers. At a chicken place, it is $0.80 for each piece of boneless chicken, or about $34 for 40 pieces. The pizza place, you can get a deal for roughly $44 to get a giant regular pizza, mozzarella sticks, and a 2 liter soda. (No delivery)

I suppose my neck of the woods isn't the most expensive, but it still ain't cheap IMO. The best option for warm and cheap food is probably the supermarket's fried chicken, which is about $28 for 24 pieces.
