- 49. The once-common tradition of saloons in the United States providing a X to patrons who had purchased at least one drink led to this phrase being used. Many foods on offer were high in salt (e.g., ham, cheese, and salted crackers), so those who ate them ended up buying a lot of beer. Rudyard Kipling, writing in 1891, noted how he ...came upon a bar-room full of bad Salon pictures, in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the X I had struck. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. In economics, this phrase demonstrates opportunity cost. Greg Mankiw described the concept as follows: "To get one thing that we like, we usually have to give up another thing that we like. Making decisions requires trading off one goal against another." 49
