Whattupwitdat?
The 12oz were $62 and the 7oz are $40.
69¢ more per oz. That would have pushed the 12oz to $69.

My favorite number too, you might have noticed. The year I graduated high school and explored Mexico City and so much more.

Well, I've placed a few tub orders. Gonna seal them in Mylar for an older version of me to enjoy. I hope the old Uhaha appreciates all the things I've been doing for him.

Maybe this is a sign of more systemic price inflation ahead. Everything is going to go up 69 cents per ounce. Everything except our paychecks.

I spoke with P&C this morning and they confirmed that all of the STG tubs in 12oz and 14oz are being completely phased out and they do not expect the larger tubs to return, ever.
