Cookie Inflation Meme Hats

Remember when cookies were $3.75? Neither does your wallet. This collection is inspired by the viral Twitter exchange where one person lamented paying $18.75 for a single cookie - tracking its meteoric rise from $15.75 in December to $17.75 last month - only for someone to reply with the now-iconic line about revving up inflation to see just how much they would keep paying. The exchange struck a nerve because it captures something everyone feels: the slow, creeping absurdity of watching everyday prices climb while pretending everything is fine. A cookie used to be an impulse buy. Now it requires a moment of existential reflection at the register. These 12 hats cover the full emotional spectrum of modern consumer life - from the blunt shock of "$18.75 COOKIE" to the nostalgic grief of "IT WAS $3.75" to the nihilistic acceptance of "INFLATION IS A VIBE." Whether you are team "rev up inflation" or team "priced out," there is a hat here for your particular stage of economic grief. Wear your feelings on your head.
