Since the invention of inflation, prices for groceries have skyrocketed and rivers have become traversable. Enjoy the scenic side of economics with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a 90-minute electric Duffy boat rental, which comfortably seats up to 12 passengers, from Adventures Boat Rentals in Newport Beach (a $120 value).

Adventures Boat Rentals provides a wide variety of wave-faring watercrafts for cruising the temperate waters of Newport Harbor. Take the wheel of your electric-powered sea vessel and sit back to absorb the scenery surrounding Newport Beach through osmosis. Each passenger will be securely strapped into the provided life jackets, ensuring swim-shy guests or those who had previously been strapped to a cinderblock will have a safe sea faring experience. Eating is permitted on board, though passengers lacking the necessary harpooning skills should bring their own snacks, or go on an after-voyage feast at one of the nearby restaurants.
