Hamburgers were this cheap?

Nope

Hell, no.

Only you and Pacman are old enough to remember that!!

Thankfully, no . . .

Ha! I'm only 44.

Although, come to think of it, I do remember Bill Cosby and his cohorts in "Mother, Juggs & Speed" pulling up in their ambulance at a burger joint next to a Golden Arches and Bill pointing to the sign (which showed how many millions or billions had been served back when they were still counting) while addressing the guy at the Brand X place, saying "Kind of letting the occasional customer slip by, huh?"

I admit to remembering 40 cent a gallon gas, however. And someone else pumped it for you, cleaned your windshield and checked your oil.

Yes, I do. And I remember when McD's was a drive thru only! Also, 25 cents for cigarettes and I could buy them for my folks without question!

Let's stop at the memories of 25 cent beer though ....

Heck no, I'm just a kid. Then again, my hometown didn't even get a McDonald's until 1995.

Cheapest I remember was $.19. X

Yup.....

"White Rose" lyrics

"Gas was 50 cents a gallon

They'd put it in for you

They'd bump your tires and check your oil,

And wash your windows too

We'd shine those cars bright as bright

We'd go park underneath that light

Stare out at the prairie skies

There was nothing else to do

Now there's plywood for glass

Where the windows all got smashed

And there's just a chunk of concrete

Where those old pumps used to stand"

Yeah, the 19 center is as cheap as I remember them...and they were just as bad then as they are now.

Chief remembers McD.

He'd get 1.50/wk allowance, and spend it all in one sitting on 15cent burgers and fries and coke. Mebbe a bit of change left over...gas was .35cents, too.

I'm 54 and remember when the "xx Millions Served" was two digits.

Cheapest gas I remember is 16 cents for regular and 19 cents for "Ethyl".

The number that sticks out for me is $22 cents.

Same price for a gallon of regular gas and a pack of cigarettes.

Today...gas and cigs are still close in price...$4.00!!!!

I REALLY need to hit the frickin' Powerball!

Uh, I don't think so. Actually, I do. At White Castle. LOL I can't believe how much those cost now. I also remember loving Burger Chef. I loved getting the prize/toy. I guess it's the same thing now with my kids and going to McD's, Burger King, etc. They get mad at the toys sometimes, and I tell them "we came here for food, not for toys." LOL I should ease up a little I suppose.
