In 1964 I could get a cheeseburger, fries and a coke for 35-40 cents, IIRC. Of course I was only making a dollar an hour. I worked at McDonalds.

We would have to calculate, adjusted for inflation, what those prices from 1964 would be nowadays.

I recall in the late 60’s - early 70’s riding my bike to McD’s and getting a cheeseburger, fries and a coke for under a buck.

In the 60's there was a chaing called Carrolls, they advertised a meal (burger, fries, drink) and change back from your dollar

LOL! That's the part most of us old timers forget to say when recollecting how cheap things were in the Day.

In 1971 (when I started working for McDonald’s), a cheeseburger, fries, and a Coke cost 60 cents. Minimum wage was $1.60/hr.

But if you used two 1964 silver quarters today you could get a Big Mac combo meal. In fact there has been deflation.
