Remember the days when a dollar could actually buy you a decent fast-food meal? We're taking you back to the golden age of affordable eats – the 1990s! Prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little outraged) as we compare the shocking price differences between then and now.
Remember when a Big Mac meal was under $3? Yeah, those days are long gone. We'll break down the jaw-dropping inflation of iconic fast-food staples like the Big Mac, Taco Bell tacos, Pizza Hut pizzas, and more. We'll also dive into how minimum wage has (or hasn't) kept up with these skyrocketing prices.
Get ready for a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we reminisce about the good old days of cheap eats and compare them to today's wallet-busting reality. We'll also discuss which fast-food joints still offer a decent bang for your buck in 2025.
This episode is guaranteed to make you reminisce, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear for the bygone era of affordable fast food. So grab your favorite 90s snack and join us for a delicious dose of nostalgia!
We discuss: The unbelievable price of a Big Mac meal then and now, the shrinking value of the dollar, how Taco Bell tacos have fared over the years, whether Pizza Hut is still a good deal, the price hikes at Chick-fil-A and KFC, Subway's shocking footlong prices, and which fast-food restaurants still offer some value in 2025.
