What you can buy for the price of a Titanic Pet Simulator Plushie
Or in other words, things that are more useful which cost the same amount of money as things that are useless
Recently, BIG Games announced the release of their Titanic pet plushies representing the pets of a similar size in their hit Roblox experience “Pet Simulator X”, which are made with “““love”””, “““super-soft materials””” and stuffed with 100% polyester, with instructions and a code to get your own in the Roblox game, all vacuum sealed. One aspect of this product has caught many eyes, the rather excessive price of US$350. So what else can be bought for that amount of money?
37,000 Robux
Yup, we’re going back to the Buy Robux screen and purchasing some Robux to help fund this child-targeted gambling operation called Pet Simulator X. With bright, bright colours, pets being named with the vocabulary of a 5 year old and modelled with an stainless steel cuboid mould, you too can have millions of players swarm in to your game for each update!
277 sausage sizzles*
*not adjusted for inflation
Okay, sausage sizzles probably aren’t $2 anymore, but assuming that they are, that’s how many you can make. Not as much as the Pet Simulator NFTs but still quite a lot of people.
This, and the next calculations made are based on the fact that US$350 converts to NZ$555, not including taxes and any potential legal implications.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite 10.4" Tablet - Pink
It’s a Samsung tablet, so it will only receive security updates for 3 years or less, but it is the perfect for your kids to play Roblox on or relatives who you would rather not be acquainted with its paltry 4GB of memory.
12kg of Mainland Crumbly Wheta Cheese Traditional & Salty (60x 200g)
With the signing of the New Zealand-EU free trade agreement by former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, cheesemakers here will soon be prohibited from using the word “feta” as it is on the EU’s list of geographic indicators. Hence why it’s wheta. Totally kiwi. Which is why you should buy it to the moon.
DOMAINE GROS FRERE ET SOEUR GRANDS-ECHEZEAUX GRAND CRU
This pinot noir, imported from France, pairs nicely with bourgeois tendencies. Perfect for when there is a riot occurring at your front entrance over your unethical practices.
0.0001195652% of Auckland flood damage
Calculated from an estimate of $460 million of economic damage (which has probably risen significantly since then from additional flooding), it’s a sad reminder of the vast amounts of money which can be used for philanthropy which are used instead for… whatever this is.
