Dave Edgerton, who co-founded the chain in 1954 and rolled out the Whopper in 1957 (at 37 cents).

When they also bring back the original price, they can call me. otherwise, no meal deal.

Sarge, I'm going to pull rank on you here. It's not realistic to bring back the original "price," but we can calculate the original "cost" in today's money.

If we use the old rule-of-thumb (since you're an "Old Sarge") that the time value of money causes the price to double every 12 years, then a $0.37 burger in 1957 would be worth about $7.00 today. I could get out the inflation charts and do a proper calculation, but frankly, I'm too lazy, and I think you get my drift.
