#1 ummm, Edwards actually got that right for the most part. Note he said a half-gallon costs $2.30-$2.40, and last gallon of milk I bought at walmart locally was close to $4.

#2 Imus is a goof. $2.99 is generally rounded to $3 in my neck of the woods. Perhaps he meant $3.99.

#3 Lemme take my shoes off, so I get this right... If a half gallon costs $2.30, then a whole gallon would cost... ummm... carry the 9... divide by 11... $4.60. So Edwards was a little high in his estimate. Imus appears to have mispoken with "actually it costs four." If he was correcting, then Edwards was approximately correct. And I have no idea what I paid for a gallon of milk the last time I bought it.

Edwards should have done the same guesstimate with beer. Everyone knows you can get perfectly good beer for $10 a case, though the definition of a "case" is sometimes fluid. But if he'd guessed high, he could have said that anything but Sam Adams' best makes him burp.
