Fig A: Watermelon went from $1.99 per melon to $5.99 per melon
Spending six bucks on a watermelon is by no means going to cause an irreparable dent in my bank account, but it’s the principle of the thing! Knowing that the SAME watermelon were $2 just two weeks ago makes me feel ripped off and suckered by the market to buy the same thing for three times the original price now!
Fig B: Boycotting watermelon
Luckily for me my second favorite summer fruit of all time WHITE PEACHES are in season woot!
It's not a conspiracy...it's called capitalism.
