Forget gas prices: apparently the cost of fish food is through the roof. Presenting the weirdest Tuftslife ad ever: "Our office was donated a wonderful goldfish, but we have no fish food to feed it - if you have any to spare, we'd really appreciate you helping keep our new mascot alive! Please call us ASAP (he looks hungry) at 518-275-1154." 

Because letting your fish starve to death is waaaaaay easier than running out to the pet store and picking up a $1.99 container of food.
