    A "tenpenny" sweet bag that costs €2.

    With 12 sweets in it, one of which has already been pre chewed and the others are stuck together with the residual saliva from the pre chewed one.

    Prescription and non-prescription meds. Doctors visits too, €50 for a couple of minutes - you barely get to sit down before you're ushered back out to pay.

    No.That is the figure including bag,electricity,labour etc.Saw Heston Blumenthal on a programme where he was trying to get the largest cinema chain in UK to replace popcorn with healthier option and they quoted that figure and basically told him to **** off (in a nice way of course)

    Boards :(

    I know Boards is great but a €75 deposit to join and then €50 a month is expensive. The annual newsletter helps, I suppose...
