    In the 60s of last century (IIRC, was before my time) there was a product called “Millical”, a powder to be mixed with water that provided (according to knowledge back then) every nourishment for the day with a total of 1000kcal (hence the name) per “day pack”. Basically a diet powder. Best comment was “It tastes boring, so instead of water, I mix it with cream.”





  • It’s because we don’t use a VAT, so taxes are not consistent rates by item or by locality. So for small shops with irregular supply chains, you price the thing however matches your bottom line, then let the register do the work on the final price.

    So if the register knows the price, why do you leave normal people hanging? For me, that sounds highly unpractucal not to know what an item costs, or being forced to know all the local taxes and do the calculation myself.
