We’re cooked.

Edit:

General consensus is the movie took place around 1982. $5 then would be almost $20 now, possibly more.

Would you buy it?

    I saw it in the theater at the time and I remember thinking “Why is he making such a big deal over the price?”

    Basically what I’m saying is, $5 was not a outrageous price for a milkshake if you lived in a city at the time.

      I always consider the profit margins on whatever I’m buying.

      The profit margins are insane for a $5 milkshake. Even if you think you’re not getting ripped off, you are.

      The same goes for coffee and soft drinks. You’re paying meat-prices for no meat and the businesses are pocketing the difference.

        If everyone around me was doing it, sure!

        Just kidding, but this is how the average idiot thinks these days.
