@ned The glory days when food prices remained stable enough for long enough that a manufacturer made this. It likely had several faces so you could have one for the trucked-in avocados in December which started at $2.99.
@ned π This is sorta how my brain works. Oddly enough at the supermarket I just read 2 instead of 1.99, but with time I always think I've got more time then I actually have.
@ned πππππ The digits should all be tilted 0.3Β° (30°÷100) clockwise and the clock hung 0.3Β° anticlockwise so the markers can go in their exact positions.
