You can tell this is from 2017. Who today can afford lose a whole fish to tape to an ATM?

how much does bread cost in mexico, just out of interest

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What kind of bread? The cheaper you can find is called "Bolillo", it does cost 2 mexican pesos.

Damn that’s 0.16c in my country.

A similar bread roll here (Aus) would be 12.35 Peso.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I think around here (southeast US), I could get 3 or maybe 4 bolillo rolls for $1 USD (33¢ or 25¢ each), which works out to about 5 or 6 pesos each.

Something similar looking costs €0.09 in Kaufland in Slovakia if I recall correctly. That's 1.98 pesos, so that checks out.

The most standard bread is this in my opinion: https://potravinydomov.itesco.sk/groceries/sk-SK/products/2002008382308

Cheap and 1kg of it. Approx 35 pesos.

This man is for sure taping his own catches. Bunbury's just like that.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What makes you think he didn't just go out and catch it?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean, he could, but it seems like a waste considering its high monetary value.

Bri'ish criminals, then.

Probably why their bank cards have chips.

Do their wallets have a pocket for vinegar, though?

..is a brand new sentence 😄
