First of all, she's buying for two people. No one buys two brands for themselves.

She's got halls in her hand with the shaken up soda. At least it's not beer.

It's also a paparazzi pic. Fuck those people.

She was also a mess around that time. And rumor has it she did some entertainment work in the middle east for awhile after.

But i feel like pics like this and ben Affleck sighing might be them being annoyed as fuck at people taking their picture 24/7. I def don't want my picture taken when I'm coming out of a store at any time.

Also, I laughed and sent this to a friend so they could laugh too.

The paparazzai are among the scum of the earth.

Bottom feeding leeches

Yea, I can't count the number of days I would be embarrassed to be photographed in public. Some days are just rough, you don't want to get ready but can pretty much anonymously go out with messy hair and wearing the clothes you wore to bed.

While from their perspective I absolutely wouldn't want it, from my perspective this type of thing is the only thing that humanizes celebrities. I tend to assume all celebrities are huge pieces of shit because their wealth insultes them from consequence. Pictures like those two, and the video of Tobey Mcguire telling people to get out of the road are the only photos or videos ive seen of these people that makes me have any respect for them at all. It makes them seem real, as though they have problems too, and in these cases they're generally justified. Then you have videos or audio like tom cruise freaking the fuck out at that dude and you realise that you are 100% right about 95% of celebrities, they're a waste of fucking space.

Edit: evidently this has happened multiple times. Dunno about the covid situation, but screaming at people isn't how you handle things as an adult.

Three people. There's a third carton of what appears to be Marlboro Reds in the back.

[–] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just the lid for the carton, it's red and white.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough, I thought the white part was a a carton of lights/ silvers because of the shadow.

[–] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Had the same thought myself until I compared the thicknesses of the cartons, then I noticed the little ceiling on the Marlboro logo on the short side.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fine except the heavy smoking?

[+] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz -12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Buying cigs by the carton is not just heavy smoking. That signals commitment to the downward spiral for the foreseeable future. Though, the two different brands of cigarette indicates she was buying for someone else as well. Parliaments were never for casuals.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Even for a lighter smoker buying a carton is just economical

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Where I live, it’s like a USD1.00 discount if you buy a carton vs however many packs are in a carton

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Wow not even worth it

[–] ScoopMcPoops@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

When I worked at a gas station it was practically the same, sometimes the carton would be more expensive than 10 packs because most smokes have a 2 for 1 deal tied to them. I can't remember if it was corporate or big tobacco but one of them cracked down on it and changed the rules to where we would get in deep trouble if we sold a "loose carton".

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Not at all hahaha. I only have a cig very occasionally but I used to work at a shop that sold them.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

How much gas do you save making 1 trip over 10?

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I doubt the celebrity was concerned about that. Well for all I know she was headed to volunteer at a homeless shelter and wanted to bring gifts. Or not but it's okay to imagine people a are good

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Economical. But also saves you extra trips. If you’re trying to avoid the paparazzi and hide in your house for two weeks (partying maybe) you get the fuckin carton.

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

God I wish I had a parliament right now lol marbs are mid but yeah the p is a great drunk cig. Haven't smoked for like 12 years but you never stop wanting them

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can hide bumps of coke in the recessed filters!

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I usually just hide them in a nostril.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

THAT’S for LATER

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When I lost my job I switched from my $8-$9 pack beloved camel blue 99s to Marlboro Black 100s. $4 per pack at Sheetz with coupon. They are not nearly as good and stain my fingers like I haven't washed my hands in days. Gotta be worse for me. I haven't switched back even though I got an even better job because paying that much for smokes is just stupid.

And yeah I travel a lot and know I have some of the lowest prices around. I always stock up before a trip.

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Wow. I'm not a smoker so I didn't realise how cheap it was overseas. Accorfing to numbeo a pack of 20 Marlborough Reds costs about $30 US (according to my smoker friends it's about $50 AU depending on where you go). It's created a very lucrative black market in tobacco.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Here in the USA there’s been a lucrative cigarette black market for years thanks to states taxing them differently.

Folks going to Virginia from DC / MD would often take orders from friends.

Thank god I don’t smoke anymore.

Did you get my Cheez Whiz?

Hell yeah, Parliaments. 🤘
