That may be, but it's probably about our aging tastebuds rather than the food :[_

In 1960 when I was a college sophomore, my McDonalds job was "Key Man", a step below the Asst Manager. We sold the "All American Meal" burger, fries and soda for 45 cents.

The first Mcdonald's burger I had was 15 cents around 1962, and the first Burger King Whopper was 59 cents in 1972. I still love those Whopper burgers!

Because of what McDonald's is starting to pay their help now, more and more locations locally have gone to ordering kiosks and fewer actual workers. I find the lack of interaction a cold thing. I feel I am not welcome any more. They cannot even get an order for a large UNSWEETENED ice tea correct now.

I remember the 10 cent hot dogs at the Clam Box, Juke Box out back under the pines.

When the White Castle was first opened, they had a burger and a cup of coffee, total of ten cents.
I can still remember them costing a dime each (50's ??).

Oh, those were the days..! The first new car that I bought was a 1968 Rambler American six cylinder automatic with AM radio (no AC). Brand new, $1,920.
However....as a Journeyman Mechanic I made $4.50 per hour so I guess it is all relevant in magnitude. Of course we were still on the 'Gold Standard' back then too.

I remember in the early 60s when a burger was 15 cents and fries somewhat the same. Big changes since then.

In the early 70's I worked for an Ad Agency in Philadelphia that had the
advertising and in store for the whole east coast including NY.
I did forget how reasonable the prices were. Their product food
was definitely better. Their great fries were downgraded in the 80's.
We had account executives who went to the stores with package POP.
I created the need for posters and translights rotated regularly.
If you owned a franchise you could become very wealthy.
