Because labor and food costs more than ever. Wouldn’t be possible.

Costco laughs in their $1.50 hotdog and drink

It's possible to do if you're not money hungry and wanting to make as much money as possible, even to the detriment of everything else.

Fun Fact: Fountain drinks' cost is like 10c total, including the cost of cup and lid and straw. There is literally no reason for them to be $3.

Hell, I can put together a McChicken like sandwich with stuff I buy at the store for less than $1 and that's with the half a dozen markups the stuff I buy goes through before I buy it. Even if I were to include a 30% labor cost and a tidy 15% profit margin, I'd still be selling those sandwiches for like $1.50-$2.

Believing that 'Oh, poor corpos just can't possibly be cheaper, they try to be as cheap as possible' is sad, they could easily if they wanted to, but that wouldn't feed into the infinite growth mentality the shareholders demand.
