For me it’s $5.59 for one today… let’s play with this…
Let’s say this was 1969. $0.39 adjusted to 2024 dollars is $3.32 according to CPI.
At $0.39, and a minimum wage of $1.30/hr, that earns you 3.33 whoppers per hour.
At $5.59, and a minimum wage of $7.25/hr, that earns you 1.3 whoppers per hour.
If minimum wage kept in line with the cost of the whopper it would be $18.63/hr
Hell yeah. Government inspected beef.
That looks like a decent burger.
$0.39 in 1965 is $3.90 today.
Whopper is 5.49 sandwich only rn when I check the closest one in their app. Texas for context.
And costs 50% more today still. Woooo
Uhhhhh…… what’s in the “coke”?
Sugar. Cocaine version was long gone by now
