      Oh I love this. I’m going to hit my coworker that loves showing off his car with “goat cheese is more expensive per/lb than your car!” Lol

      Give a man a Roquefort, he can eat for day. Give a man a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, he can eat for a lifetime.

        I don’t think it’s recommended that you eat a whole roquefort at once. The Ferrari even less so.

      What’s “goat cheese”? There’s dozens of kinds of goat cheese. If not more.

        In the states there is a soft cream cheese like cheese simply called “goat’s cheese”, I am guessing that is the cheese to which they refer.

        And where are they buying cheese? At my local Walmart four versions of Cheddar (mild, medium, sharp, and extra sharp) are all $4.22 per pound, less than the 5 minimum.

          I would assume they are talking about the grade of cheddar that you can buy alongside fancy cheeses. Like, cheddar off a wheel

        It’s Munster on the list, a washed-rind cheese from France. Muenster cheese in America is probably somewhere down around a used Ford Focus.

          Oh wow, now I get it. I always wonder why there was relatively many references in American culture to a relatively little known French cheese.

          But now I do!

          A “I wanted to make my graph look this way so I chose this particular version of a log tranform” scale.

      For funsies I calculated the Price per Pound for the M1A2 SEPv3 tank, which worked out to be about $163/lb. I guess it make sense that it’s at the super car range haha

          Once again using Wikipedia numbers for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, with a cost of $5.5 billion in 2024 dollars and a displacement of 101,600 long ton (227584006.38 lbs), that works out to be $24.16 if my math is correct.

      lol i never realized the Ford F-150 Lightning was cheaper per pound than the standard F-150 considering that the lightning is heavier. Also wild that I’ve eaten cheese that was worth more than a RAV4 per pound lmao

        Might depend on the trim. Unless pricing has changed recently, a Lightning in the basic work truck trim is less expensive than a comparable gas engine work trim with the same size cab, bed, and 4WD. Usually only companies buy that trim, though.
