many moons ago I took a train from Budapest to Vienna.
all through Hungary and Slovakia, the coffee from the cart was about $0.40 equivalent.
As soon as we passed into Austria, same guy, same cart, same coffee, was about $8.00

i found that pretty hilarious (largely because I don't drink very much coffee)
Pretty much worth being behind the iron curtain for 40 years so coffee could remain affordable.

I also rented the box at the Budapest Opera House right beside the "royal box" for a
performance of Madame Butterfly, for like $20.

amazing building. the box right beside the tall one in the middle.

I guess this is the modern version of this:


Yeah, I'm pretty sure what I posted is fake/was scripted.
But, it gets used in a lot of places and is always worth a chuckle or two, especially when two people wind up in a heated discussion.
