We got in touch with GuyWhoStillHasNoName and he was kind enough to tell us more about his now-viral post.
"I was just outside in a random place when I thought of the question," the Redditor explained to Bored Panda. Contrary to what you might think, he said he "wasn't at a store or anything, the question just came to me in the middle of nowhere."

After scrolling through the replies, GuyWhoStillHasNoName said that fast foods was probably the most popular one, adding that it was the first answer that he himself thought of to his question too.
And understandably so. Fast food prices jumped about 13% in 2022, according to Pricelisto, a website that tracks menu prices for US chains. That's even more than the cost of groceries, which bounced roughly 12% last year.

GuyWhoStillHasNoName thinks the huge popularity of his post is indicative of a wider context, as "there are almost endless numbers of problems that can be reflected because they are money related."
Indeed, Americans remain guarded about their personal finances, with the majority (55%) saying their financial situation is "only fair" or "poor" rather than "excellent" or "good" (45%). More also report that their financial situation is worsening (50%) than improving (37%).

Everything was like 1/4 what it'd cost at the store, grown closer, and by smaller local farms.
Then everything changed when it became trendy; now it's more expensive than stores and I question if it's even from local farms and not Costco.
