I can get a Whopper Meal (includes fries and a drink) for $8.50CAD ($6.13 in fashy bucks) with a coupon or on Whopper Wednesdays.

If you're gonna be an elitist about ground beef of all things, you deserve to get scammed for $17.

You specifically need a coupon for that, or to go at s specific time, and to a specific place. Everywhere else I’ve been is selling expensive burgers and you might not even get fries if it’s not a fast-food place.

Also the Chicken Guy (Guy Fieri's restaurant chain) in the mall near me shut down a few weeks ago. That was the most unhealthy food I've ever eaten. Good riddance. Also so arrogant to be right next to Chick-fil-A.

American here, but this photo feels like a legit parody of American eating habits. If I were gonna make fun of us I would use this exact image LOL.

But I want to know how Bitcoin could be doing so well, it makes no sense, what demand is there for a finite commodity to store their value?

No problem, as salaries also trippled in that time

Tap for spoiler/s

Wow, so I did tha math. The official inflation rate factors up to just over 1.5 (50% increase) over the past 16 years. But this meme suggests a factor of 3.58!!! (258% increase)

It was on a famous show.

It’s prepared food, so the price also depends on wage increase and changes to tip structure in that state. Several states began fair wage for servers after 2008, so the gratuity may now be included in the price of the meal.

The official inflation rate doesn't include food or energy. It's ridiculous.
