In case anyone else feels the need to rewatch the bit after seeing this:

I love the fact that the term Spam for unwanted emails comes from the Monty Python skit.
This image is so old I thought the joke was how good the prices were.
seriously, 35 bucks gets you half a bigmac these days
It isn’t that out of touch with contemporary prices. Maybe 10 years at most, as a lot of the cost increase has been the past 5 years. Doesn’t mean the image isn’t older, just commenting on the price here.
A current restaurant serving Lobster Thermidor costs about 55$. While any place serving this dish is likely a high quality restaurant, it’s not until one obtains a michelin star that it becomes a 3 digit affair.
This really wasn’t that long ago. That was 10 or 20 years ago I think (can’t remember which because I’m old and time is compressed for me), but I can remember when you could get ultra basic breakfast, granted in not very classy places.
Actually no, I might be remembering 30 years ago. Sitting in a bowling alley in the 90s, that served food. Little paper placemats with right-angled celtic knot patterns all around the edge. Silverware wrapped up tight in a napkin.
That kind of place would have a basic breakfast for about a dollar.
Seems like prices shouldn’t have risen as much as they have in just that short a time.

🎼 Lovely spaaaam, wonderful spam! 🎵
🎵 Spam de spam

I’m sitting at work right now hungry. About half an hour ago I looked in my backup food supply and find only two things - instant mashed potatoes and Spam.
I think this is a sign. I mean, the picture is a sign.
Problem is I like my Spam like blackened on the outside which may piss off my partner.
I like my spam not in my stomach
Spam croquettes!
You can cook one blackened and the other brown, so you can have a “Spam, mashed potatoes and Spam” for lunch.
Scorched spam is good spam. Goes well with fried pineapple rings
(That should annoy enough people)
I want this menu as a poster for my wall
It would go nicely with my clock:
Gotta send a 24h timelaps of the clock
Dunno about a timelapse but here’s the current state:
That’s a very nice clock. Only legs move, not arms?
Of course. It’s Ministry of Silly Walks, not Silly Flailing Arms About.
My thoughts exactly. We’re already two, so there’s a market. Someone exploit our demand!
While not the same, I bet lobster tacos are pretty tasty.
Let’s denote the prices of the components as follows:
Egg: ( E )
Bacon: ( B )
Sausage: ( S )
Spam: ( P )
We are given the following equations based on the prices of the combinations:
( E + B = 1.10 )
( E + S + B = 1.49 )
( E + P = 1.50 )
( E + P + B = 2.10 )
( E + P + S + B = 2.49 )
First, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:
[ (E + S + B) - (E + B) = 1.49 - 1.10 ]
[ S = 0.39 ]
Next, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 4:
[ (E + P + B) - (E + B) = 2.10 - 1.10 ]
[ P = 1.00 ]
Next, subtract Equation 3 from Equation 5:
[ (E + P + S + B) - (E + P) = 2.49 - 1.50 ]
[ S + B = 0.99 ]
We already know from a previous calculation that ( S = 0.39 ), so substitute ( S ) in:
[ 0.39 + B = 0.99 ]
[ B = 0.60 ]
Now we know ( B ) and can find ( E ) from Equation 1:
[ E + 0.60 = 1.10 ]
[ E = 0.50 ]
We have found the prices:
Egg (( E )) = 0.50
Bacon (( B )) = 0.60
Sausage (( S )) = 0.39
Spam (( P )) = 1.00
But I don’t want any spam
Well that just makes ordering simple for you because you only have two options.
They got the joke wrong though
Man somebody spent hour making this.
That last one sounds pretty good.
