Just to save the next person the trouble,
It was introduced in 2009. Inflation calculator says that $0.89 in 2009 is the equivalent of…$1.34 in today’s money.
Wow.
I’d be curious to see the whole price history but yeah. Can’t believe how bad a deal all the fast food places have become
Edit: regarding price history, another commenter said it raised to 2.99 after only a couple of years. So 2011 to 2026 inflation calc results in $4.48. A second user said beef in particular is ahead of general inflation, so this might not be too bad of an example after all
And, imagine this, minimum wage is exactly the same.
Holy shit. It’s still $7.25
What in the fuck?
You can buy about 50 rounds of 9mm for one hour of minimum wage.
Pretty diabolical, huh?
These days your average hole in the wall family owned restaurant has much better food for about the same price as fast food. The serving sizes are often much larger as well, so you could spread it over a couple days or share it.
100% Even sandwiches you can easily get one cheaper (and much higher quality) than subway now when subway used to be dirt cheap.
It’s similar for a bucket of chicken. Used to be a good cheap family meal. Now they’re trying to collect on nostalgia or some shit.
