As of today, Chicago has the highest sales tax in the nation, beating even LA and New York with a staggering $1.025 worth of tax for every $10 spent (thanks for the edit, j).
In honor of that, here are some other notable 10.25's:
*The Monetary Policy Rate of the Bank of Nigeria is 10.25%
*RH Forschner by Victorinox makes a 10.25 inch blade bread knife.
*igourmet makes a 10.25 oz bottle of Mojito glaze for $11.99 (that's $13.22, with tax, if purchased in Cook County)
The Chicago Tribune has more information here.
