We recently already wrote about how the local Rohan drunks are being screwed over on a high intellectual level. To recap, back then a social-beer pack of Lvivske, consisting of six bottles, cost 17.95. Under the slogan “convenient and economical,” the item is being sold for one kopeck more …

Hey, you! Yes, I’m talking to you! Do you even watch where you’re stepping? What did you just step on?
