Burger King Bacon Burger $5 Meal - Sauce For Scale
Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain't a joke for a drink size! BTW, that's supposed to be sweet tea, but it's bitter as hell..
You're viewing part of a thread.
$2 in 1990 is the equivalent of $4.81 now. So you're actually getting more than you would have in 1990 for the same price in real terms.
You only think you're getting more. To call back a previous comment of yours,
The burger is mostly bread. The meat patty is waifer thin.
I honestly think there might be more meat in the 2 nuggets you lose than the patty. At most it's an equivalent amount.
And that doesn't even get into ingredients and how they have and will continue to switch to cheaper ingredients without lowering prices which skews any inflation adjustments further obfuscating any true comparison.
Edited for spelling
In 1990, I got my first two pairs of prescription glasses for $40. Today, they quote me over $300 for my prescription, for a single pair of glasses.
Does that add up in your fancy inflation calculator?
Dude, use Zenni. I got three pairs of really nice prescription glasses for $60 a couple months ago.
You know prescriptions are only valid for a year right? Shit ain't cheap yo.
Edit: Gotta get a new exam and all, they can't even legally send me new glasses with my old prescription.
I do know this, but you don’t have to buy glasses from the eye doctor. Just get your prescription and go online. Or do a pro gamer move and get a free lasik consultation and they will give you your prescription and then don’t set up an appointment or cancel if they want you to make one. lol
I just found my last prescription from 2021. It's written in Greek, like literally.
Had to change topics, huh? These things are not related.
Not directly related to my original post, agreed. But related to the community in general, SHRINKFLATION
I'd get a large strawberry milkshake, a burger that was wider, more fries, 6 nuggets, and a toy back then, so no, still getting less today.
SHRINKFLATION
The point is that this is not shrinkflation. Just regular inflation. And you are clearly misremembering.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride of shrinkflation...
