I remember when they were $0.49, which was roughly the price of two gallons of gasoline, a quart of Havoline, or a box of 50 rounds of 22LR.
When I was a teen, McDonalds would have a sale on their anniversary, where they would sell their cheeseburgers for the original price of 10ยข. We would buy bags full and freeze them.
I can’t remember the Big Mac price from the old days.
In the 60s, the regular single was 15 cents, and fries a dime.
IIRC it was cheap enough that as a kid you could ride your bike there and buy them for allowance money.
I worked at the 2nd McDonald's in Maine back around 1965-'66. The Big Mac didn't exist yet but the hamburger was $0.13 and a cheeseburger was $0.15.
2 for $6 or no deal.
When 2 gal of gas were 49 cents, quarters were silver. About 8.50 today.
I remember working and McDonalds in the mid 60s. You could get a cheeseburger, fries and a coke for 40 cents plus tax...
My god. You are as old as I am.
