$214 at $0.10 per can means 2140 cans of budweiser.

Now, is bud really less than 47 cents per can? Even at wholesale prices?
Because that equates to 30 pence per can in olde english money, which
would be bloody astonishing. Kinda glad I'm moving to the states in a few
months if that's the case. (Just a shame that the beer tastes like
watered-down piss.)
