So most of you know I live in Hungary, which has the highest VAT (import tax) in Europe - 27%. In my 7 years living here, I've seen some American products that have ridiculous prices. A small can of Mt. Dew costs a minimum of $1.50. While travelling through Romania, I saw a quart of Slick 50 for sale at the equivalent of $69.
It's the same for cars. You can find an old Camaro or Corvette here in Hungary, but the prices are at least 27% higher than the US. I was talking with my neighbor recently, and it's kind of opposite here. In the US, the "rich guy" drives the Mercedes or BMW. But in Hungary, the "rich guy" drives a 1981 Camaro.
Today, my daughter who lives in Portugal sent me this photo.
A.1. Steak Sauce selling for 17.30 Euros ($18.34 at today's exchange rate). :ummm:
