Original McDonalds Menu...

[joboo]

Was reading there's a Big Mac index now to gauge cost of living between countries.

I would imagine these prices are from approx 1950. ~ 10 - 15 times more expensive in ~ 60 years.

I think you are pretty close. A triple thick shake is 20 cents, ie back then...2 silver dimes. 2 silver dimes are worth roughly $4.50. Do the math. A beef hamburger was 15 cents...ie, $3.50 now in silver dimes.

Accurate, I'd say.

Note to self...keep buying silver.

If you're lighter than a brown paper sack, it's wise not to visit 14th and "E" in 'Berdoo. It doesn't matter if you run into the natives or the cops; it's gonna be unpleasant.

I imagine the food was of higher quality then... ??

I'd say yes, long before the days of Frankenfood...

I suppose another thing to consider is the quality of their food has gone down substantially.

I wonder how much McD's would charge today for the quality of food they used to produce...i.e. non gov subsidized corn fed/fabricated everything.

Perhaps add another 30-40% on top of today's prices?

i was going to post the exact same sentence gonzo did.
