when the iron curtain went up i visited a corner store in east Germany. They had a lot of fresh products! The shelves were divided into days. Today's yogurt, 1 day old, 2 days, 3 days, 4, 5 with a pricing curve that started with unusually expensive, 1 day was a lot cheaper, the rest declined linearly until the last single bottle thar was 1/20 the price of the first. A really old lady at crawling speed made her way to the oldest cheapest bottle and grew a beautiful smile on her face. Mind blown, they sell everything!? I thought as I grabbed some milk at tourist trap rates. Those prices are obviously for me. The idea of spending less felt just shameful. How dare I think that?
