"I can't believe a virtual, consumable snowcone is worth priced at five dollars."

"i was just talking about this to my bf. its so fucking dumb how they price shit. if those were a dollar or something i'd buy some, but they overprice EVERYTHING."

"It's ridiculous - I could buy two real snowcones for the price of a housing snowcone, and it would be worth more than what it gives for stats.
Not that you would eat it, considering you wouldn't want to lose it if you paid $5 for it!"
