I like that the pack says "about 5 for 25¢" like they don't know how many are in the box.

Haha yeah that got me too. "Might be 4 plus a half cigarette remainder. Might be 5 and 2/3. But around 5 somewhere, we are pretty sure."

"Joe on the factory line mighta grabbed one outta your box for his lunch break. 4 is basically 5. Just go with it"

Ir depends, sometimes Eddy would have a couple too many at lunch, and you'd get a series of boxes with only three, if that. Sometimes he'd somehow pack seven in there. Five is an average.

I mean, maybe when the math works out it's something like 4.83 for 25c or 5.11 for 25c. Probably the former, or else they would have marketed it as 5 for less than 25c or something
