Compare that to the price of coke/pepsi is 1999. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 It would be so awesome if they still offered all this stuff. Not only would I actually go to HF more than once or twice a year, but I'd stay a lot broke-er than I do now ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
