Inflation

This advertisement is from 1963. 

I was in Green Bay recently and on a whim enjoyed a basic Whopper (with cheese) for lunch. 

No fries. No drink. 

That sandwich set me back $6.19.

 

I was mildly taken-aback, yet after reflecting on the subject 39 cents was a lot of money back in 1963 for a Government Inspected burger.  So I suspect current pricing tracks closely with six decades of inflation.

Anyway, it was, and always will be my favorite fast food burger.  I’ll probably have another in a few more years……
