"What do you splurge on?"
"Splurge? If I feel really wealthy, I let myself have a more expensive snack."
Seems you missed it, too.
It comes with bitter humour for sure but the whole thing isn't some sarcastic joke. And the article and surveyors understood it as what it is. Kids are poor as shit so can't splurge on almost anything. One thing people spend more than necessary are fancier snacks but that's about it.
The article is outrage baiting though which is a tactic that always works.
Ah, I see. You aren't actually arguing with me. Got it.
