Xmastime Plot Holes in Movies He Loves, Vol 1

My Cousin Vinny

The opening scene has the the two guys arguing over whether to buy a can of beans costing 31 cents or one costing 32 cents, eventually settling on the 31 cent can because it was not only a penny cheaper, but also because it signaled that they would not fall prey to packaging. Then the Karate Kid grabs a can of tuna for the express purpose of neither pleasure nor flavor, but...protein. Protein! So the stage is set that they are your typically cash-strapped college kids - I mean, shopping for protein? College kids on the road?

AND YET.

A second later the Karate Kid is at the counter ordering an item totally absent of nutritional value while jacked up in price due to it's playful, colorful veneer: a "Slushee."  I mean, wtf?

My Cousin Vinny: J'ACCUSE!!!
