Quality Post Grocery store in Germany has started importing Arizona Ice Tea Cans and covers up the 99¢ with mini American Flag stickers

My American high school did the same. Charged $1.25 for them when they said .99¢ on the can. I went to Sam's Club and bought them in bulk and sold them out of my locker. The school eventually found out and lowered the prices.

Hell I even see them on sale somewhat regularly in my local store in California on sale for 79 cents each.

It's not even that hard to believe. Your high school didn't have at least one kid selling shit at school?

To be fair my high school didn't but that still doesn't make this story all that hard to believe.

My buddy would buy a 12pack of pop ($4) and sell them for $1 each out of his locker in high school. Our school cut out candy, pop, and juice from the vending machines. He'd sell a case and buy two more, always keeping 2 cases in his locker. Dude made like $80 in a couple weeks before the told him to knock it off or get suspended.
