Airport $27 Beer: Because Thirst Should Cost More Than Therapy
Welcome to the 2024 Airport Price Circus, where $6 bottled water and $10 Chex Mix prove hydration and crunch come at a premium! US airports raked in a cool billion dollars off your terminal shopping addictions, with virtually no competition because a few mega-corporations have the monopoly on your snack choices. Remember when airports tried matching outside prices in the early 2000s? Cute! Now those limits are vanishing faster than your patience at TSA. The whole scene is a delightfully greedy dance of inflated prices fueled by captive audiences, which explains why your beer costs almost as much as a kugelblitz nuclear reactor (or close!). Cheers to overpriced dehydration!
