Indeed it is.
I was reading an article on CNBC reporting that McDonald's missed their earnings due to "scaling back on food prices". If it continues, their stock will be quite cheap!

The original price of a Big Mac was 59 cents. I remember. I believe 1970-71.
We'll never see those prices ever!

I remember when they were .55-.60 cents.
10 bucks and you could get a big ol' bagful.
In the 1950's (maybe 1960's) cheeseburgers were only 35 cents and hamburgers were a quarter!

I reckon it's out that I came after that!
In case you were wondering how the prices back in the 1950's were...
Hamburgers were 15 cents. Cheeseburgers at a quarter!

I like Long John Silver...I like their fried fish sandwiches. Although, it's not any better than Culver's.

Are you sure the diversity hire behind the counter didnt ring it up wrong?Had to take the wife to ER yesterday. She's ok but we stayed until midnight and we were starving. The only place open was McDonalds so I swung in and ordered a Big Mac Combo. FOURTEEN BUCKS for a regular size burger fries and drink!WooHoo let's hear it for the Biden/Harris Economy! No wonder half of Americans run out of money by the end of the month.

considering the health impacts of such a meal, a good portion of the $14 should go into pay into the health care system as they do with cigarettes.

You were took. I just checked local McDonalds prices in my area:
According to CNN, the national average price for the Big Mac Combo Meal is $9.29.

Still, I'd sooner go hungry than patronize any fast food burger joint these days.

When I was in HS, I used to get FIVE McDonalds hamburgers with tax for an even BUCK.
Maybe he went to a high-end McDonald's! Probably why he paid so much! Lol

I remember when my folks took me down south, White Castle had not yet franchised its way up north yet, and their burgers were that cheap, and indeed, we did buy big bags of their burgers.I reckon it's out that I came after that!

Well, when it is late at night and they know they are the only ones open, they got you by the short hairs.
If I drove into the place and they wanted $14-$18 for a happy meal, I'd order up $100 worth of food then drive away.
