Man Charged More Than Quadrillion Dollars For Smokes

(Fox 8 News) - The pack of Pall Mall's Jason Bryant purchased over the weekend at the Exxon on White Station and Summer have to be the priciest ever.

And that's no joke. When his Visa card was declined trying to buy dinner Monday night, he found out it was hit with a charge of "23-quadrillion dollars," exclaimed Bryant.
