ICED-COFFEE $CAM DUPES JOE SCHMOES
Only in the New York Post could you find this story: Two guys go a-walkin'; the first buys hot coffee, the second buys iced coffee and pays half again as much. In a white-hot New York rage, the first guy does some cipherin' and figgers out that the iced coffee should actually cost less than the hot coffee. He's right, mathematically speaking, but what he forgets is the "chic" tax, that it's cooler to walk around with iced coffee in a showoffy see-through plastic cup than with a paper cup of plain old standard stuff. Not that we agree with the rip-off, of course, but people are people.
