bang for the buck

While Hedges concedes that the Argentine Malbec market has declined—“we’re not the shiny new object”—he still sees great value in it, he said: “It still offers a lot of bang for the buck.”

But a key challenge is figuring out the best bang for the buck that can be widely deployed without exploding civil defence budgets.

Muons provide more bang for the buck than the protons used in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and would push the search for new forces and particles deeper than ever into the unknown.

As Teresa Mosteller said, it “doesn’t seem to have the same ‘bang for the buck’ as other options.”

For a little more bang for the buck, consider a $160 racing team sweatshirt and a $40 Las Vegas Grand Prix baseball cap, though again the tax would be on the consumer.
