If bought in my area of the U.S. that would be $2 for the chips and $2.25 for the soda, plus tax. So a little over half an hours work at min wage.

so it's 50$ per 7hr or 600$ a month, 7.2k per year and just with only 3 days of working in a week, for a total of 84hr in a month meanwhile a full-time worker in iran who works more 9 to 5 makes 74 dollar in a Month, or 3$/hr. less than what a inexperienced young man in the west makes in a single day with the part time jobs.

not to mention no insurance no care from boss or gov support, high risk of fatal incidents, terrible work place, and no additional benefits or even retirement; all this in a country which has more than 10% of world oil and gas reserves and 1% of it's population and lots of minerals, good geographical position and access to free waters the persian gulf and caspian sea with an educated young generation and a supportive old one. absolutely logical...
