Fredericksburg Fire

A significant wildfire, known as the "Crabapple Fire," is currently affecting northeastern Gillespie County near Fredericksburg, Texas. The fire ignited around 1 p.m. on March 15, 2025, near the 8700 block of Lower Crabapple Road and has rapidly expanded to approximately 8,640 acres with zero percent containment.  Strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph, have exacerbated the situation, causing embers to travel up to half a mile and igniting spot fires. Firefighters from Fredericksburg Fire EMS, along with multiple regional departments and support from the Texas A&M Forest Service, are actively working to control the blaze and protect structures in its path.  Evacuation orders have been issued for residents between Highway 16 North and FM 1631, and between Ranch Road 1323 and Ranch Road 2721. Evacuees can seek shelter at Zion Lutheran Church, located at 426 W Main Street in Fredericksburg.  A red flag warning is in effect for the Hill Country due to high winds a...

Doritos Prices in the United States from 2020 to 2025

圖片
2020 Price : A 9.75 oz bag of Doritos (e.g., Nacho Cheese) typically retailed for about $4.29 at major stores like Walmart. This aligns with pre-pandemic pricing, though the year saw disruptions from COVID-19 affecting supply chains. Context : Prices remained relatively stable early in the year, but by late 2020, supply chain issues and increased demand for packaged snacks began nudging costs upward. No significant size reduction was noted yet. 2021 Price : The same 9.75 oz bag stayed around $4.29-$4.50, with slight increases depending on location. Some reports suggest promotional prices (e.g., 2 for $7) were common at stores like No Frills or Walmart. Context : Inflation started to emerge, and input costs (ingredients, packaging, fuel) rose, but PepsiCo (Frito-Lay’s parent company) largely absorbed these early increases rather than passing them fully to consumers. Bag sizes remained consistent. 2022 Price : Prices climbed noticeably to around $4.79-$5.29 for a 9.25 oz bag. This reflec...
