Solving the World's Problems: Inflation
You know, people often say to me: "Hey, Yuri - you're so intelligent and have such a superior understanding of how the world works; why don't you begin a crusade to solve all of the world's problems?"
Finally I have answered the call.
The first problem i'd like to address is that of inflation. Nobody likes inflation. It's annoying. As far as I can see all inflation does is cause the extinction of small change such as the 1 and 2 cent coin (watch out 5 cent coin - you're next) and embitter old people to the point where they spend their twilight years doing nothing but yammering away about how wonderful it was when you could buy 10 gummi bears for 5 cents and how today's corner store owners have 'lost their way'.
What people probably don't realise is that while they were whinging about the effect of inflation on the price of confectionary - the answer to the entire problem was right under their noses : -
.
That's right, children. Wizz Fizz. The original sherbet.
All we have to do to cure inflation is to get rid of the dollars and cents and adopt Wizz Fizz as our new currency. Then all we have to do is eat 4% of the gross total of wizz fizz in the nation each year and we'll suddenly be presented with a flawless society unmarred by fluctuating prices and drunken old men mumbling incoherently about gummi bears. Think about it.

two things: firstly, yes i remember the good days of "5 for 3 cents, or 10 for 12 cents" ahh the good old days *sigh*
but we couldnt use wizz fizz, for several reasons. i dont mean to shut you down, brillant plan, just need a different subtance. we couldnt use wizz fizz cause then everyone would be permanetly hyper, thus increasing road accidents, etc, but everyone would be smiling. and lastly, it would too easy for the crack and speed dealers of the world to er.... sutitute their product for wizz fizz and cause more interesting escapades.
but keep up the good ideas yuri, cuase you are smart! (your in uni, thats proof)

It was actually 1927 that the bad stuff started happening.
As for Wizz Fizz, I feel this is the perfect tool of barter. Not only does it save one having to carry those stupid leather wallets to look cool (where do you put them? - a side pocket over balances you and a back pocket looks like you have really bad hemroids - where as wizz fizz could go in anyu pocket with ease!), I like to think that anyone could rob the world bank with a giant white licky thing!
