Sure, but, do you know how much a packet of oreos is, without looking it up? Despite having bought them more times in the past than I'd be willing to admit, I only have a vague perception. I know they're under my "this is too cheap for it to be worth me agonizing over the price" filter.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoOreos are a "too expensive to bother looking at" item for us. Any major brands that does a lot of advertising fits there. They also taste terrible, but the kids still want them - advertising doesn't appeal to our taste buds after all.
- projektir 8y agoI don't buy Oreos, but I pretty closely know the various /lb prices of some potato varieties. And also that asparagus is surprisingly expensive. I am not saying that the group of people whom it influences more will not be more aware of things, I'm saying engineers are not really yet the group where ignoring prices to the point of letting a computer arbitrarily buy things makes sense, and I think the "this device is just out of touch because it got designed by rich engineers" holds little water. It seems, rich or poor, nobody really likes using the device that way, and I concur with some of the other posters that maybe this wasn't the ultimate purpose of the device.
