Far fewer than you'd think, once hyperinflation kicks in.
You'll be lucky if you can buy gum for less than $100M at the rate we're climbing.
I am selling a used piece of gum for cheap: only $50 million! Buy now while supplies last.
Well now hang on. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. We have discuss some core primary facts about this gum before we can determine value.
First off, what brand gum? How much flavor is left? Does it still have enough consistant texture to blow bubbles? You can't just leave these things up in the air.
Don't worry about that.
I'll lend you the $50M for the gum if you agree to buy $50M of my stuff in the future.
