I remember buying double cheeseburgers for $1.

I remember buying Wendy’s chicken sandwiches for 99 cents.

I remember buying Burger King Big Fishes for $1.89.

I pretty much have given up on restaurants.

“I remember buying double cheeseburgers for $1.”

I remember buying burgers for 15 cents.

McDonalds kept that price for over 20 years. Amazing!

I remember when you could buy one of every item on the McDonald’s menu and stay under $5.

I used to go get 2 double cheeseburgers for $2.80. That was while Trump was President.

I remember $0.19 burgers at McDonald’s
39 cent Whoppers at Burger King.
Real Kentucky Fried Chicken, not that crap they have at KFC.

Same. When in the US, we absolutely never eat at restaurants anymore. I will *never* go into another ‘full-service’ place - one where I have to tip, for instance - in the US ever again in my lifetime. We’ll do Chinese takeout once a month or so but in my case I am either in Asia or Europe for 8 months out of the year anyway and in the US typically for less than 4 months total.
We do go to restaurants in Europe and Asia. Far, far better experience and better food. The foods that our restaurants use in Asia in particular are delivered directly from where they are grown/raised. In the USA, they are unloaded from a ‘food service’ factory after all sorts of ‘processing’ and come in big cans.
There’s a major difference.

I remember getting hamburger, fries, a shake and change back from a dollar...at McDonalds.

We used to call it McDucks. I lived near Disneyland.

My best friend and I would get a single from Wendy’s, medium French fries and a drink for $3.50 in college. This was 1984.

I remember tacos being $.89 at Taco Bell - I know there is inflation but paying almost $20 for a McDonald’s meal is insane.

You can get two double cheeseburgers at my McDonalds for $2.89, but the chopped up tendons sticking in between your teeth let’s you know how they do it.

Heck, my first brand new car cost me around 43400.

Of course, I was earning $2.25 an hour then.
