okay boomers
Can you believe the price of cheese back in our day. If we wanted a cheese burger we had to bring our own cheese.
Yup. Bacon double, fries and a drink was $2.97 at BK when I was in 10th grade in 1990z
A high schooler making $6 an hour back then could afford two big Mac meals. The same high schooler would have to make nearly $40 an hour to do the same today. Damn
Exactly. Maybe some places they're that high but even with the larger drink and fries it's $9.69. With Medium drink and fries it's $9.29 (Iowa City)
I remember being 16 and being able to leave school for lunch and head to BK where a whopper combo was $3.14. And that wasn't that long ago.
“PoopandBoogers and Bonerfarts Burgers LLC” is now an officially registered limited liability company in the State of Iowa.
I think McD's and Burger King meals here (Maryland) are $13 or so.
That's like diner prices. Nuts.

That markup for cheese is insane!okay boomers
I just looked at the app, 8.99 for a Big Mac meal. Still way too much.

Those bastards at CBS!

The average price for a Big Mac in the U.S. is $5.35. At the location in Darien, Connecticut, some combo meals top $21.

This is what happens when you give in to Bernie Sanders and the Squad supporters and destroy the value of the dollar.
I wonder what 5 Guys costs in that same location. Most expensive place to eat on earth. Holy hell. $70 for 4 burgers and two fries.
They’ve gotten old and the buns tend to fall apart. Been once in the last five years. Good fries though.
it may seem high, but since it was at a rest stop each meal comes with a quarter gram of meth
I am irritated their tasty Diet Coke went up from $1 any size to $1.29. That’s a 29% price increase for you kids that didn’t learn how to do math in your heads.
I think I had one too at an oasis coming back from a business trip in Chicago. I didn’t care because I was turning in the receipt.
People should lay off soft drinks anyway.
Or pop or whatever you folks call it up there, 😉
What's healthier: regular soda with a pound of sugar or diet soda with 0 sugar?
I always assumed sugar free soda was healthier, even though both aren't healthy.
Chick-fil-a prices were always higher than other fast food restaurants but people (us included) were willing to pay a premium for top quality chicken. Now they are actually in line or even cheaper than many of the fast food burger joints.
Timely thread. My buddy texted our group that he just spend $65 on BK yesterday for 4 people.
Well that's on the East coast where everything is ridiculous. At this point in my life we never get fast food unless we have to for some reason. Like a road trip where I don't want to take an hour out of the day.
If you use the app, you get free fries with every purchase of $2 or more. So $4.69 for the sandwich, $1.29 for a large Coke, and the fries are free. Less than $6 for a large Big Mac meal.
Only one value meal at the Riverside Drive McDonalds is over $10 and it’s the Double Bacon half pounder meal but you only buy that meal once in your life and then you’re dead.
I only eat fast food if it’s my only option on a road trip.

Especially when you consider their rewards program. Plus, they have been offering me a free sandwich for filling out a survey about 60% of the time I eat there. I've only paid for fries and drinks the last month or two.
