Certainly not multiplying. Cabbages are asexual.

Where did she get that price? Do you need a coupon? Math is so hard
these days.

Sounds like the people who brag about getting $85 worth of groceries for
coupons and $3.78 in cash. Of course it's stuff they don't need, can't use
and won't keep. Isn't math fun? Polly

Amy CS3 was preparing cole slaw for the crew of an aircraft carrier...
47¢ a head is a high commissary price. For St. Paddy's Day on Lung
Guyland cabbage is like 8¢/lb.

They grow cabbages here. During the harvest we can get them for about
20 cents a pound, sometimes less.

50 cabbages sounds about right for a barrel of wine. . .
