My wife stopped off at the liquor store. Everybody was staring at the boxes of Coronas. Nobody was buying them. [View all]

The price has doubled. $32 for a box of 12.

A box of Coronas will last us a few months; we're not big beer drinkers, actually not big drinkers at all, but well, fucking Magas are certainly letting the good times roll, aren't they?
