    I remember when a regular hamburger from McDonald's was $0.59 and a cheeseburger was $0.79. This was around 1995.

    Eh, it's not that bad considering you can get a double cheeseburger on the dollar menu now.

    I think the highest rate of inflation in the fast food world is at sub sandwich shops. The places are almost so ridiculous I won't patronize them anymore. I stopped going to SubWay because their prices keep going up while the amount of ingredients on their sandwiches keeps going down.

    Yeah, yeah. I just get fast food when I'm lazy or want a treat.

    99% of the time all the food I prepare at home is very healthy.

    They switched to (tasty) rat meat and no one's the wiser. :)

    Seriously, you get what you pay for...

    I see most of you guys haven't seen "Supersize Me" just yet. If you did, you would never in a million years touch a chicken mcnugget, even if they pay you to eat it!

    No wonder cancer is becoming more and more commonplace...

    I don't need a documentary to tell me that eating fast food every meal for 30 days is bad for my health.

    Whatever. I went to JITB this evening and got 6 tacos, a chicken sandwich, and a Texas Cheeseburger. Cost was less than 6 bucks.

    Where I used to live, the price of regular hamburgers at Burger King went from 49 cents to $1 in about one year.

    Memorial/Dairy Ashford/Kirkwood location is $7.99 for 50. So instead of $5.50 each, its $4 each. BTW, how many sauces come with the nuggets???? Talk about fast food inflation... when you have to PAY for a normal amount of SWEET N SOUR SAUCE!!

    Anyone else remember $.29 hamburger Wednesday and $.39 cheeseburger Sunday at McDonalds? My God, the amount of burgers I ate should've killed me a long time ago.
