Cubs tickets are not selling for peanuts

In aside by dmick897 Comments

The Slanch Report suggests that Cubs tickets are selling for peanuts. Julie posted the other day you can get tickets for 9 cents. I wondered how accurate it would be to say they were selling for peanuts so I went over to Google Shopping to find out. Turns out the cheapest Planters Peanuts you can buy cost a dollar. If you search only for peanuts you get peanut butter and that's worthless to this important discussion. The bottom line is that I could get 11 Cubs tickets and pay only a penny more than I would if I bought some peanuts. I'd rather go with the peanuts.

You can get 48 / 1 oz bags for $15 on amazon.. That’s 31 cents / oz. There are ~ 28 g / oz. An individual peanut weighs about 1 g.. Therefore the price of a peanut is about 1.1 cents. So for the same price of a Cubs ticket, you can get about 8 peanuts. (dying laughing)

There you go, the cost of a Cubs ticket is equal to 8 peanuts! I'd much rather have those peanuts.

    Maybe he was talking about the comic strip. How much does that “print” newspaper go for, 75 cents? You figure if you cut out just one page of the newspaper that the comic strip is on, it is probably worth about 9 cents.
