In case anyone else feels the need to rewatch the bit after seeing this:

I love the fact that the term Spam for unwanted emails comes from the Monty Python skit.

This image is so old I thought the joke was how good the prices were.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

seriously, 35 bucks gets you half a bigmac these days

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It isn't that out of touch with contemporary prices. Maybe 10 years at most, as a lot of the cost increase has been the past 5 years. Doesn't mean the image isn't older, just commenting on the price here.

A current restaurant serving Lobster Thermidor costs about 55$. While any place serving this dish is likely a high quality restaurant, it's not until one obtains a michelin star that it becomes a 3 digit affair.

I’m sitting at work right now hungry. About half an hour ago I looked in my backup food supply and find only two things - instant mashed potatoes and Spam.

I think this is a sign. I mean, the picture is a sign.

Problem is I like my Spam like blackened on the outside which may piss off my partner.

I like my spam not in my stomach

[-] Maco1969@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Spam croquettes!

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Scorched spam is good spam. Goes well with fried pineapple rings

(That should annoy enough people)

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

You can cook one blackened and the other brown, so you can have a "Spam, mashed potatoes and Spam" for lunch.

I want this menu as a poster for my wall

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 months ago

It would go nicely with my clock:

[-] OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Gotta send a 24h timelaps of the clock

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Dunno about a timelapse but here's the current state:

[-] crazyCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That’s a very nice clock. Only legs move, not arms?

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

Of course. It's Ministry of Silly Walks, not Silly Flailing Arms About.

[-] ElmarsonTheThird@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

My thoughts exactly. We're already two, so there's a market. Someone exploit our demand!

While not the same, I bet lobster tacos are pretty tasty.

Well that just makes ordering simple for you because you only have two options.

Let's denote the prices of the components as follows:

Egg: ( E )

Bacon: ( B )

Sausage: ( S )

Spam: ( P )

We are given the following equations based on the prices of the combinations:

( E + B = 1.10 )

( E + S + B = 1.49 )

( E + P = 1.50 )

( E + P + B = 2.10 )

( E + P + S + B = 2.49 )

First, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:

[ (E + S + B) - (E + B) = 1.49 - 1.10 ]

[ S = 0.39 ]

Next, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 4:

[ (E + P + B) - (E + B) = 2.10 - 1.10 ]

[ P = 1.00 ]

Next, subtract Equation 3 from Equation 5:

[ (E + P + S + B) - (E + P) = 2.49 - 1.50 ]

[ S + B = 0.99 ]

We already know from a previous calculation that ( S = 0.39 ), so substitute ( S ) in:

[ 0.39 + B = 0.99 ]

[ B = 0.60 ]

Now we know ( B ) and can find ( E ) from Equation 1:

[ E + 0.60 = 1.10 ]

[ E = 0.50 ]

We have found the prices:

Egg (( E )) = 0.50

Bacon (( B )) = 0.60

Sausage (( S )) = 0.39

Spam (( P )) = 1.00

They got the joke wrong though

[-] Heavybell@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

That last one sounds pretty good.
