21-Effing-Euros?!?!?!?


Loção de Deus

I purchased this at a local pharmacy in downtown Lisbon. Didn't bother looking at the price. I mean, it's lotion right? Sure it gets pricey in the States, but what could the damage be? Twenty-one-effing-euros, that's what it could be! Insane. That's 31 U.S. dollars. Thirty-one dollars. What is this stuff made with? Stem-cells from a newborn angel? Maybe, maybe that could justify the price. We could erase the entire U.S. trade deficit if we just sold this stuff.

Of course I was too embarrassed to look up "I'm a cheap bastard." in Portuguese and just get something else. No, I'm a proud rich American. It's just money. So I bought three bottles just to show the world we still totally own it.
