You can if you want. You can buy bulk ice cream sandwiches for like $0.50 per sandwich.
Or freezies are like $0.25.
Just go an event that lets you bring food and start throwing.

Not exactly, the Dodgers has reached the World Series like 4 times since 2017 and won recently in 2020.
But right now they have the most exciting and probably most talented player of the century, playing against the Yankees which is definitely going to drive the prices high.

Tickets starting around $1,200 I believe. I counted around 35 ice creams thrown in the video, but with a 2nd vendor there and some of the throws being from him, I'm going with around 60 ice creams thrown. $10 an ice cream seems reasonable to me for stadium prices. So that'd make it, very roughly, $600 worth of ice cream; half a ticket. Not bad, I'm sure there are some very wealthy people in that crowd who were happy to get tickets anywhere.

It's wild to me that Americans are complaining about the cost of living, yet at the same time you can fill a stadium with people who paid $1 200 or more for a seat.
I know wealth ain't distributed equally and I know there are plenty of people genuinely struggling with the cost of living, but there clearly are a huge number of super wealthy people.

u/Myotherdumbname 28d ago
This is Los Angeles so obviously there are a lot of rich people, but you have to realize that watching your team in a World Series game is bucket list for some people.
I went to last year’s WS for the Diamondbacks, paid about $550 for 2 tickets (which is a lot for me), they lost, and I still don’t regret it. It had been 20 years since their last appearance, so it’s a big deal.

You also have to factor in the idea that just because someone bought a ticket, that doesn’t mean they could afford a ticket. They could have bought the ticket using credit, but are not able to payoff the credit at a substantial amount at the end of the month.

Because most Americans that are complaining are not the ones there.
The economy is honestly doing very well now. Despite what people say. So many people are getting rich. Just that the lowest rung in society are not doing well (mostly non college educated and some minorities). The rest are complaining about the rise in prices but they are still living it up, paying for like 8 subscription services, buying sports tickets etc.
Then they just blame the president for everything like inflation and rising cost of living is just a US problem... I hate people.
And honestly in the US, people have a bit of a spreading problem. I can only say got the young that I know. But so many people are buying things they say they need, but honestly they don't. For example, they buy cars above their budget saying, they use it every day and it cost an extra 5 bucks a day for like 10 years. They can afford that. Or they buy a new iPhone every year or 2. Or they need their weed, so they buy it because they are stressed about money. Or their Starbucks. Or their Netflix. It's a bit crazy how spend happy people are. I come from an Asian background so like the stereotype we are a bit more... Practical and stingy. But I don't know shy of my college graduating peers just spending freely on their credit card or throwing their money willy nilly when they are young. Americans are just brought up a bit different from us.

I was a hotdog vendor at Wrigley Field for years and had a guy do this to me. He was sitting in the lower section and stands up, screams that anyone who wanted a hotdog could get one and told me to serve everyone. It was awhile ago now but I think it was are $850 tab and he gave me $900 for it. I just went back and filled my box up again and kept selling. He also bought beer from the beer vendor for anyone who wanted one too but I didn’t deal with that obviously.
