@middle_class_us I used to have a 2 hour commute from work so I would stop for a snack at McDonald's. 2 McDoubles no onions and a large Coke Zero for $3.18. Now the same snack would be $10 with less 'meat' and stale buns.

@middle_class_us Well a few yrs @ 9% inflation will do that

@middle_class_us and half the size.

@middle_class_us When McDonald's First Came to Town - You could get a Burger and a Coke for Twenty-Five Cents My 1st Job- 1970 - I made Big Macs that cost Fifty-Nine Cents 😎

@middle_class_us I remember $1 Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers in late 90s and early 00s.

@middle_class_us The service at most fast food places is a joke now too.

@middle_class_us Stop eating that slop! For ten bucks you can buy a big healthy salad!

@middle_class_us In 2016 I could purchase a hot lunch at Taco Bell for $5.

@middle_class_us Wendy’s biggie bag. A burger, fries, drink, nuggets. For $6.
