The rollback price is higher that the original $2.50. And, if the ice wasn't ice cold it wouldn't be ice.

I believe that the better assumption; would be that American children need to pay better attention in their English classes.

Hey Peteoz, let's ask Bob about semicolons. And extraneous commas!

Naw, that's too much of a stretch. (Consider the targeted audience.) The word LOW already defines WHERE the prices are. The EVERYDAY attempts to describe WHEN. But, as you correctly note, the word has nothing to do with any time interval.
It looks like some responsible, knowledgeable executive would at least inform the advertising department, "Hey, let's not project the image that we're some kind of uneducated hayseed Arkies!"

Your sentence is missing a comma and a period, but, no, I don't know why you would think our weather is anything but perfectly rydable, or that our behavior is unusual in any way.
Now, please excuse me; I have to count the hairs on my cat.
