I'm buying lunch John. How do I get there?

Ahhh; the good old days!! You didn't make a ton of money but you didn't need to.

Yeah, you'd be lucky to get one whopper meal for that today. But I'm guessing it probably averages out based on what the average wage was back then. It looks great though, lol 😊

It's always fun to look back at these prices, but I remind everyone that don't forget to take in to account that incomes were low(er) too.

I receive BK coupons for $22 meal deals and $17 kid lunches. 🙄 😫 😣 A trip to virtually any fast-food place today results in a $45 - $60 bill, cash price. There's an up-charge for plastic, even if it's a debit card! 😠 😡
With regard to food prices, THIS remains my favorite nostalgic reminder. 😀 😀 😀 - It's only 1:35 long, so relax! 😀 😉 😆
