It's used as a barometer to gauge the overall prices of groceries. It differs from country to country. Back in my home country, a type of small, cheap fish was used as the measurement. Meaning, when even that cheap little fish is getting expensive, you know it's really bad.
When your barometer breaks, you are supposed to get another one. Otherwise you get a "36 Roentgen" moment.
