There's 40 examples at link. A few below.

Ooh, ahh, 256 whole kilobytes of RAM! The things that impressed us back then (as I tap out this text on a checkbook-size device that runs in gigabytes). Those computer and hard-drive prices are lower than the dollar amount that I paid for my T&C—not even adjusted for inflation.

Costco and Lowes offer free air where I live.

Not free if you have to travel 5 miles to get there burning fuel... heh

I think the last time I checked the air pump down at the RaceTrak closest to me it was $1.50, I didn't look close enough to see if it had 'Tap & Pay'.

My first Big Mac <LOL was a Mac IIFX which cost like 10 grand in 1992, I got it in 1995(?) for $100.00 out of the Want AD's with a 21" Greyscale monitor.

It's also not free if you have to start your compressor.
Apparently they're used by the shoppers at the store as opposed to people driving 5 miles to get there.
