Part 7/9:
With our collection from various supermarkets in hand, we convene at a friend’s apartment to sample our loot. Excited yet skeptical, we begin with the $40 Spanish potato chips, which prove to be underwhelming compared to their hefty price tag. Pigs in a blanket for $22 are equally disappointing, being small and unsatisfying given the cost.
The pre-prepared items do little to redeem themselves, with a shocking price-to-value ratio. The most notorious item—a $32 ham and cheese sandwich—leaves much to be desired and not more than a “mediocre cafeteria” feel.
