Happy Moon Cake Day

Eat loads and loads of moon cakes and you’ll be rich within the next 48 hours.

Moon CakeThat’s why I bought 2 backpacks full of these when I was in China this summer. Actually the reason is because they were cheap — cheaper than they are in Canada. The average moon cake in China costs 4 YMB, which converts to about $0.50 CDN. Now if you went to any of the stores here now, each moon cake costs at least $5.00. Why must you overcharge? Cause it’s monopoly in Canada and it works.

There are 2 (legal) moon cake factories in Vancouver. They make their own moon cakes instead of importing because it gives them an excuse to rip people off. I haven’t even finished one tenth of the moon cakes I have. I should start selling these. Care for one?

    I predict that it’ll be somewhere close to $0 in revenue.

    Hehehe. Moon cakes are nasty (in my opinion). I mean, the outsides are delicious, but I hate all the fillings. Eggs and those red beans and stuff. *gags* Sorry. ^_^;;

    Maybe you could sell them? You’re totally right though, they’re overpriced here. @___@;;
