The cost of a 50-pound sack of jasmine rice has soared to $21.99. There have been so many buyers flocking a Costco in Mountain View that two other brands of rice were completely sold out Monday.

Wes copied the title (as usual) so it's not his fault but it's silly to call it rationing when it's simply on store limiting how much people can buy. Heck, I have "Limit 4" or "Limit 10" items in my grocery store all the time. Real rationing means you can only get so much total.

I wont give you a chance to accuse me to distort the title ( as usual)

So you don't like the title , you know what to do , accuse them , not me. (as usual)

Who the fcuk wants to buy that much JASMINE rice anyway?! Yuck, hate that stuff. Just give me some minute rice thank you very much. (Yo momma so stupid it take her 2 hours to cook minute rice). Damn California and their fancy jasmine rice.

Also you've got to love a story about rice "rationing" which includes video of the reporter standing next to palate upon palate full of huge sacs of rice. The "rationing" was stopping people from buying 30+ of those huge bags at once.
