A day at Hershey Park powered by a six-inch short hoagie from Wawa and the gas it takes to get there costs Pennsylvanians over 52% more in 2024 than it did in 2019, according to a new website that pins the drastic rise in price for everyday items in the state to Democrat policies.
The new website, Bobflation.com, targets Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Vice President Kamala Harris, slamming the Democrats’ policies for sending “the cost of Pennsylvania’s most iconic products and experiences SKYROCKETING.” Released by Casey’s Republican opponent Dave McCormick, it allows you to select different items and see how much they cost compared to the price under former President Donald Trump.
According to the website, a one-day ticket at the famous Hershey Park costs $60 today, a 50% increase from the $39.95 admissions fee in 2019. A six-inch short hoagie from Wawa was $4.00 in 2019 and now costs nearly $7.00. A gallon of gas in Pennsylvania is averaging $3.62, which is up from $2.29 in 2019.
Other favorite items that have gone up in price in the Biden-Harris economy include a plain cheesesteak from John’s Roast Pork, which is up 23% since 2019, and a Pitts-Burger and Cheese from Primanti’s, which is up 37%. Everyday items such as eggs, bread, and milk have also skyrocketed in the past five years, the website shows.

Pennsylvania is a vital swing state in the 2024 election, and both Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns have heavily focused on reaching out to Pennsylvanians in recent weeks. Along with the state being up for grabs for former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Harris, Sen. Casey is in a close race with GOP Senate candidate David McCormick.
The economy has topped the list of issues for Pennsylvania voters in recent surveys with one in three voters saying it was the most important issue heading into the 2024 election, according to a Quinnipiac poll taken in late June. Another poll from the Commonwealth Foundation released in early July showed that four out of the top five issues for Pennsylvania voters were all related to the economy.
Both Harris and Casey have been open about the drastic rise in prices under Democrats’ watch, but they have pinned the blame for Americans’ economic woes on “greedflation” and corporate “price gouging.”
“Here’s a real question moms ask me in Pennsylvania: ‘What am I supposed to do if I can’t afford diapers?’ In just six months, a box of diapers went up $15. And corporations say your prices are up only because their costs are up,” Casey said during his speech at the Democratic National Convention earlier this month. “They’re selling you a lie in the bag with the diapers. Prices are up because these corporations are scheming to drive them up.”

Vice President Harris admitted that the price of groceries is up under the Biden-Harris administration compared to the Trump administration and vowed to introduce “new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules.” Harris’ proposal for addressing rising food costs was blasted by Republicans as “communist.”
