So much plastic 😢
- I wish we had a plastic tax. Everything is wrapped in so much unnecessary plastic.
  
  NJ had a single use plastic bag tax. To get around it companies increased the thickness of plastic bags and gave it for free. Apparently the thickness is what separated a single use bag with a reusable one. Politicians are clowns 🤡.
  
  Unfortunately, the plastic tax is enacted in terms of climate upheavals, and levied upon the poorest people in the world, usually in some other nation entirely rather than the originator.:-(
  
  The plastic is not a problem if its processed properly after disposal. Though I'm aware that it usually isn't.

Have yourself a smoke and a coke
- and a cock-e
- I prefer a cigar and a waffle
  
  Flapjack and a cigarette?
  
  I take my waffles blue
- I don't know why but Coke and a smoke sounds better to me

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf...
- Loosey on your high fructoosey?
  
  Smoke and a Coke
  
  No high fructose in those cokes - would be cane sugar.

Coke and a smoke. Cant go wrong with that combo tbh.

Those sized Coke's are $3 where I live. That cigarette doesn't look like it's worth $2 tho.
- "At March 2024, the price of JPS 20s was approximately $39.50, or $1.98 per stick."
  
  The price of smokes sre going up again

- 0.5L of coke are 3$ at your place? I pay 1-2€ for 1.5L here in Germany in the single use bottles and 1€ for a glass bottle of 0.5L

With the cost of ciggies in Australia, that seems like a straight up bargain. The typeface makes it look like a Woolies product.

- Is that Rocco from Boondock Saints? I didn't remember him looking that haggard in that scene.
  
  It's the jpeg.

Pilot's breakfast lol.
- Wrong coke...

They didn't want to sell the cigarette separately or a cop would show up to stand on their neck.

Damn, that's expensive. Is this a gas station?
- I'd bet money it's an Australian Woolworths (it can still be a woolies at a servo though). Just pointing it out since AUD $5 ≠ USD $5
  
  It's a woolies, and you could buy 2 and a half cokes for that price.
  
  3.16 USD
  3.01 EUR
  
  Good point. IIRC Australia also has relatively high tobacco taxes, right?
- This looks very much like an Australian service (gas) station called Coles Express. $5 is pretty average for this deal which is typically a 600ml Coke and a Chocolate (candy) bar of your choice. These darts look to be added as a joke. I could be way off, but that's what it looks like to me.
  
  Bloody close, it's a woolies servo from what I reckon.
  3pm tradie knockoff special if I've ever seen one!
  
  Looks like a woolies, Coles wouldn't use so much green

Was grocery shopping earlier and the guy behind me at the checkout had only a frozen pizza and a pack of chocolate bars. I'm now imagining that to be the guy's dinner. 🥴
- Dinner of champions 💙 Don't hate on the struggle meals.
  
  You misspelled splurge
- Been there
- What if that's all he could afford?

Very healthy

Smokin' & drinkin'.
