When I worked at McDonald’s in the mid 1960s a hamburger was about $0.12.

I like Burger King Whoppers but none near where I live now.

I can remember going out on Friday nights in the middle 60’s and getting two hamburgers, a cheeseburger, small fries, and a coke for just under $1.00! So for a dollar we ate and then went out for the evening.

I DO remember those days! My father used to get a bag full of their burgers and feed our family of four kids. We used to sit by the lake in Brightwaters on Long Island and enjoy them.

Oh those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end.

Simply applying the Consumer Price Index, that object should cost $1.27 today ...

I think McDogbarf charges more than that.
