Walmart Fancy Feast Pricing Is Off Because Cats Can’t Do Math

Can cats do math? Maybe they can do math, and simply choose not to. Whatever the case, reader LukeBaby noticed some pricing shenanigans in the pet food department at Walmart.

“55 cents each,” writes LB, “or 10 for $5.80 (58 cents each.)”

Meanwhile, reader Mazter Jedi, switching fantasy universes for a moment, noticed something kind of strange while shopping for LEGO sets at Walmart. Normally, the red part of a Walmart price tag contains the original price for a clearance item, and the larger part has the current price. The markdown price. Which is supposed to be, you know, lower.
