"1"^^ . "One year later, 100\u00A2 more...\n\nCan anyone really be upset about the famous 99\u00A2 shrimp cocktail going up to $1.99? It's still a very tasty, light meal for only 2 bucks. Other than the obvious reason for raising the price, let's look at the other reasons they needed to raise the price.\n\nKids today don't even know what a \"\u00A2\" symbol is. It might as well be an early Egyptian hieroglyph. The Egyptians aren't known for shrimp cocktails.\n\nThe \"\u00A2\" is not on keyboards or smartphones. I need to track all my Las Vegas activities on Facebook, in case of an alcohol related blackout. What would I think if I missed a decimal and awoke the next morning thinking I ate a $99 shrimp cocktail?\n\n99\u00A2 shrimp cocktail just *sounds* cool. The San Francisco Shrimp Bar and Deli isn't that cool. Sure it's old-school downtown, but now they have dancing girls in the blackjack pit with loud music. Beer isn't served in the deli anymore either. Simply not cool. Why stick with a price that makes you think differently?\n\nSooner or later, people were going to question where all these 99\u00A2 shrimps were coming from. It's the middle of the desert! Tell me, how do they get here so cheaply, and can I car pool with them to save a buck?\n\nThey could easily sell this stuff for $6 on the strip, or $4 downtown. It's really good. It just isn't as cool or as exciting when you know the next time you review the place, you won't be able to use the \u00A2 sign in every paragraph."^^ . . "2010-10-13T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ .
