I'd buy 6.

They still make the jar but you gotta supply the cookies

Damn, 5 bucks? I'd assume 50 today. Honestly, I like it

bruh $4.99... First we too poor for glass these daze and they would try to sell this for at least $20

$20 without cookies. That tracks.

I still have one of these and it currently is full of candy for Halloween!

damn

You can find stuff like that at thrift stores

Per googles inflation calculator, $5 in '86 is about $15 today. The original ad says retail price is almost $10, or per the same calc about $30 today.

$20 without cookies feels right on inflation. This aint the inflation battle to fight

Inflation doesn't reflect the actual buying power of the average person.

Harris teeter is out here selling 2 bags of m&ms in a shitty plastic jar with the cheap candy no one likes and a tiny little balloon (you know the tiny tiny ones with no helium) FOR $25. I’m vocal about how cheap and shitty I think this kind of shit is.

Now do video games.

Aww it's adorable!

Walmart has a few similar things right now. But they're pissing me off with their dynamic pricing so I'll unfortunately pass.

Dude that shit is $30 at Mariano's! Literally exact same store, same owners, same everything, it's all Kroger but get close to Chicago and raise the price.

Honestly less than I expected these days

dynamic pricing is wack

It'd be $16 in 2026 dollars anyway, so not that much more.

The original price would be $16 today, so it's essentially similarly priced.

Agreed
