No. I have heard “Slightly higher in Canada” but that may be due to the rate of exchange and the fact that both the US and Canada use dollars.
I have no idea what that small piece of paper is. I wouldn’t put it in my mouth if I were you. Paper on the floor near bathrooms is often something you don’t want to ingest.
It has to do with transportation charges for things imported ito East Coast ports. and no, don’t put the damned thing in your mouth, throw it away
Back in the day (60s/early 70s) the children’s TV show Captain Kangaroo was sponsored by Schwinn (bicycles). They would do a promo spot for a particular model of bike (not a taped commercial; an actual live-action promo on the set), and at the end the spokesmodel doing the promo would say the price. Then a voice-of-God voiceover would say “Slightly higher in the West and South.” I remember I felt soooo sorry for the kids in the West and South!
