I went to Wal-Mart today along with my friends Emily and Jacque and went on my occasional snack purchase.  I took the following items to the self-check-out:

One (1) Box of Sour Skittles - $0.88

One (1) Box of Gobstoppers - $0.88

One (1) Bag of Haribo Gummi Bears - $0.93

While scanning the impulse items, I saw some gum I was interested in:

One (1) Package of Overly Priced But Tasty Looking Lemonade and Pomegranate Gum - $1.67

Then, I saw some chocolate covered Altoids.  And I thought. . . I love altoids, I love chocolate, yeah, I need me some of these:

One (1) Package of Chocolate Covered Altoids - $2.18

For those who don't want to do the math, this gave me a subtotal of $6.54.

So?

Well, this is America, where we add tax on at the end.

7.400% tax to be exact.

Or, $0.12.

Resulting in a grand total of $6.66.

I figure, Satan just really likes Altoids
