1) A 12 oz. can of coke = $.60 (20 oz. bottle is normally $1)
2) A cup of coffee in Starbucks? We don't have those around here...
3) A ticket to the movies = $5 - $7 depending on the theaters.
4) A pack of cigarettes = $3.50 - $5.00 depending on the brand and type.
5) Brand new? $14,000 probably, no options, no nothing. Used? Much less.
Reasoning behind the differences in prices between Wisconsin and more populated areas in the USA:
1) Less cans are sold, and it's really hard to sell soda in the winter in Wisconsin.
2) We don't have 'em with the exception of a few cities.
3) 99% of the theaters across Wisconsin pretty much suck.
4) Wisconsin has some of the cheapest tobacco and alcohol in the nation I believe.
5) New cars cost about the same across the USA. Used cars in Wisconsin do not hold their value because of Wisconsin winters and rough driving conditions.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
