Hey, you could buy all the vinegar you wanted... Hope you don't need anything else, though.

  Or heaps of same tuna cans if stars aligned. You want what? Bananas for your kids? Lol come next week, stand in the queue in freezing cold for 3 hours on sunday early morning, and maybe you will get lucky. Lemons are only available via family or communist party contacts. Or waiting 5 years for the option to buy a car (of course no say in the color or equipment, take it or leave). Or 2 years for sofa FFS, who cares you don't like the shape, color or material. If you think this is funny, I gave examples from my own childhood, and could go on for a very long time. Centrally planned economies really don't work well. On top of clusterfuck that communism consistently was by itself.

    > the option to buy a car (of course no say in the color or equipment, take it or leave). For some reason that reminds me of that arch-capitalist, Henry Ford.

    No watermellons, or ketchup this summer, soz. My entire family to this day is compelled to load up on whatever discounted-because-of-oversupply items when shopping, on the premise that they will not be available in the future due to asinine production planning.

    My mom still remembers how she was able to see an tangerine for Christmas. Once.
