Didn't mean to cause confusion on the currency conversion - I found an online converter, so I felt pretty sure about its accuracy, I just neglected to put in the zero for clarity. Heretofore, please read "At the equivalent of US$.71 a pack..." as "At the equivalent of US$0.71 a pack..." The decimal was in there to begin with, I promise.

I'm glad that your family has garnered some amusement from this! I consider it on par with having grown up in a Norwegian household and not being able to fathom that there are people in the world who don't know about lutefisk and lefse.
