Red guy and Blue guy sitting at an empty lemonade stand.
Red guy: “maybe we should have a sale?”
Blue guy: “But we can’t go any cheaper!” while pointing to the “$1” price tag on the sign above him.
Red guy, while writing on a board, looks confused and replies: “cheaper?”
Final panel: The lemonade stand is rushed by hundreds of customers throwing cash and scrambling for lemonade, a fire breaks out, it’s chaos. In the foreground the sign Red was writing reads: “WAS $25, NOW ONLY $1”

It sounds like a deal, but it’s often the highest price they’ve ever had as well.
It can also be factually true. For example it’s their lowest price ever on model TX-56YB, only available on Black Friday.
TX-56Y for the rest of the year has totally been cheaper.
Walmart is the worst at this, which is why I would never buy a TV there.
