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?

    This isn’t inflation, we’ve been in gouging territory for decades now.

      Inflation is an increase in the average price of goods and services in terms of money. It doesn’t matter if it’s because of price gouging, or bailouts, or war.

      Specifically on milkshakes? If it’s on everything it pretty much looks and acts like inflation anyway.

      A $5.00 milkshake in the middle of 1993, when the movie was shot, would cost $11.22 today if it went up at the same rate as the CPI.
