How Much Does It Cost???

We have a game for you to play.  Below we've listed seven items of differing price that are available here in Shell.  We'd like for you to try and put them in the correct order from most expensive to least expensive.  We will send a small Ecuadorian prize to the first person that sends us the correct answer through email or on the comments of our blog.  (We think there may be a small glitch in our blog comments as we haven't received all the comments we know people have tried to send, so it may be safer to send your answers through an email.)
Good luck!
  • 5 gallons of diesel
  • 1 can of Gillette shaving cream

  • 1 box of generic brand honey nut Cheerios
  • First time visit to the doctor
  • 1 1/2 hour bus ride from Shell to Banos
  • 6 pineapples

    No one has been completely correct so far, though there are a few close ones. We'll post the answers in another week. Feel free to try again if you want to.

    Hi Benedicks,
    I am only basing my list upon my Haiti experience so lets see how they compare:
    a. diesel
    b. cheerios
    c. shaving cream
    d. burger with fries--this wouldn't be available
    e. bus trip
    f. pineapples
    Hope you guys are doing well. I pray for you often and hope Kristina is feeling better these days! our love, Earnie & Kathy

    Hi Dan & Kristina,
    Here is our guess

    1. Shaving Cream
    2. 5 Gallons of Diesel
    3. Honey Nut Cheerios
    4. Burger and Fries
    5. 6 Pineapples
    6. First Dr. Visit
    7. Bus Trip

    This is fun, Maybe we will have to do a Haiti version. It is fascinating how things cost such different prices. We were really undecided between the shaving cream and Diesel. That is a hard call.
    Thanks,
    Nick & Nikki

    OK - we will make the cheerios #3 and the Dr. visit #4. Leave the rest in the same order. How about that?!
    Love Mom & Dad B.
