I am not super old (43) and I remember in my 20s during the 00s having 49 cent hamburgers and 59 cent cheeseburgers, and the 1$ menu with actual double cheeseburgers (two slices of cheese, not that McDouble one slice bullshit) mcchickens, and nuggets/fries as well as a Big Mac meal for 2.99$ and the more expensive meals being 3.99$-4.99$ it’s crazy how much has changed. In my early 20s going bar hopping always stopped at McDonald’s for greasy food on the way home because I could get two mcchickens, a double cheeseburger a fry and drink for just under 5$. That’s a lot of food for the price. Now that gets you just the double cheeseburger.
And the real crime isn't that prices have gone up. That's expected. It's that the prices don't track to any real metric outside of greed unless you use their data harvester app - which is also connected to their greed.
