Why 24 cents for 19.99 dollars?
I think “ct” on this receipt is short for “count” rather than “cent.”
What in the fuck do you need ~5,520 whippets for?
Precursors for some concoction I’m not enough of a ‘chemist’ to understand?
Stocking up for P Diddy’s next party?
To inhale the nitrous and get high. Call them doing whip-its here.
Get a tank
I wouldn’t call myself frugal by any means, I generally support people spending their money on nice things that they find value in so long as they’re not living beyond their means.
That being said, IMHO dropping $5k on a ring makes you a god damn idiot.
There are definitely pieces of jewelry that are worth that price tag.
That said, if you would like to by a crushed moissanite and tin love bracelet for that special someone, you should do it. A romantic dinner of two foodlike beef and cheddar max sandwiches, and a night of peaky blinders is a fine way to bond.
I would say if you’re spending more than like 15k you’re crazy, but 5k is not insane money.
The line of insane money depends on income and priorities really.
It’s supposed to be 3x pay checks right?
I live paycheck to paycheck so someone better do the proposing to me
The idea that you’re “supposed” to spend $X on a ring is absurd. Are you getting engaged to show off your wealth or to commit to a relationship? What does spending excessive amounts of money on a trinket have anything to do with the latter?
That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.
Now that women are, y’know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one’s means to purchase.
I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We’re happy.
Oh that actually makes a lot of sense!
It’s from a debeers ad
I think society cares more about the cost of the ring than my partner and me. Outside of joking, I’d spend a lot on a ring for my lover. I mean we both owe the mortgage after we marry right? It all evens out eventually.
If you were to adhere to that dumb rule, it’s based on income, not income minus expenses.
Hippy Cracktacular.
‘At least he died doing what he loved: a bunch of whip-its’
“At least he died doing what he loved…”
Which was not his girlfriend, who, coincidentally, he explicitly chose not to make his fiancée, and who he also sent a clear message to via buying one engagement ring’s worth of whip-its on the way out.
The receipt total $4599.02 doesn’t add up if they only got Whipped cream chargers 24ct for $19.99 they could get 230 boxes and then buy something else for $1.32
Bag of balloons.
AI slop maybe?
What is a whipped cream charger?
Ever seen a pile of discarded small silver canisters? That would be them.
I thought it was tiny scuba divers
Cartridges of nitrous oxide. Commonly referred to as ‘whippets’
Whippets are also extremely addictive.
i could fully undrstand 5k for such a handsome and good puppy
And somewhat more charming, some would argue.
Follow up question, what is… that…? They got scammed?
Whippets is a reference to inhaling the nitrous which causes a short temporary high (so you have to keep doing them I guess). I didn’t know what they were until I helped out a friend who GM’d a hotel. They needed a maintenance guy and I just moved there so I took it for a few months and trained their new guy or w.e. (I don’t know shit about hotels but mostly it is just standard plumbing and electrical issues). Had a leak on the first floor coming into the gym. Traced it back upstairs to the third floor. Bunch of young adults had ~500 whippets around the room, they refused to let us in, I eventually got in and found they did something to the toilet, it kept running, they were to fucked up to notice the night before and it leaked through the bathroom floor, down an inside barrier wall and made the ceiling collapse in the gym. Wouldn’t have been an issue had they just reported the leak when it happened… instead it took us hours to get them to let us into the room, and they didnt spend the time cleanjng anything, just not wanting to get up. Whatever they did, they sure as shit weren’t going to have fun explaining the damages they caused to their parents, because I don’t think the hotel/police were letting them skip out on paying for it.
It’s also pretty dangerous since you’re effectively depriving your brain of oxygen so honestly just smoke weed instead.
One of the reasons they’re popular is they’re a very short term high, so you can still drive home without issue. The same can’t be said about weed.
The short high is also a reason crack is popular.
At almost $1 each, that isn’t a terrible price. But anyone spending $5k on nitrous really should be buying it in bulk tanks, not packs of individual cartridges like this
Unless it’s for resale to underprivileged minorities (i.e. children) who can’t buy it themselves. Then it makes more sense than buying the equipment and empty canisters to go with the tank.
They’re using them to get high.
They got 5,000 chargers, not really scammed, although you can get larger volumes for less. If you take a full lung-full from a balloon and hold it, it’s like flipping a switch that shuts your brain off for a few seconds. As you come back, it feels like your brain is booting up as reality slowly reconstitutes. I never found it particularly pleasant and something about the nature of the experience made me feel it was unhealthy.
Pretty sure it’s like insanely bad for you. It might straight up cause brain damage
So yeah, just smoke weed instead
Most problems are caused on the longer term and that damage can be quite insidious. N2O deactivates vitamine B12, which ultimately causes nerve damage, especially for heavy users. Symptoms can be stuff like tingling extremities, muscle weakness and paralysis and can become irreversible with continued usage. The problem is that the early symptoms can be easily disregarded, while the damage is slowly building up.
Wah wah wah wah
No, this thing is expensive by itself. More cheap solutions use CO2 gas but, I guess, it doesn’t produce rich flavor or something.
You don’t use co2 for dairy as co2 turns to acid when mixed with water and that soures the product.
Your brain would be mush at the end of half of that. That’s for a party fsfs
I think this woukd end me

230 whippets and a $1.32 pack of gum
