Lol if you zoom in there is clearly something weird going on with the numbers. I would believe 0s were added to the prices. Even without the 0 at the end the prices would still be absurd but this is way too expensive to be believable. If it is real just burn the whole place down

Alright I'm gonna be the dude who replies to myself but I did some research and these prices are probably real. What's crazy is they appear to be significantly lower than last years prices. Another important thing is that the formal menus mention the dishes being sized to serve 4 people. That makes it slightly more okay but also still ridiculous. This has to be inside the paddock or VIP areas though as I dont think they would even offer caviar to the peasants in the general admission.

It’s the hard rock vip area, it is indeed not the peasantry. The people in this area don’t even ball at these prices because they don’t care about price tags, whatever it is they’ve got it.

You can order those Bundt cakes from Mo for $7.

I zoomed in and stared at the numbers for quite a while... What's weird about them? The only thing I can see are compression artifacts around them, but that'd be totally expected

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Maybe Mr. Krabs is doing the prices
