Seems like it's from the 50s or 60s; but this was the 90s!
(Though... Shit. I am still old enough to be a grandpa ๐ฉ)
That alone would cost like โฌ5 here. It only ever makes sense to go there when I've been driving for the whole day and just need to eat plain old boring food. For another few euros I can go to something like the Salsa Shop and get a massive burrito that'll keep me full for half a day. Ironically, it's often multiple times faster than THE fast food restaurant.
Where's here? I checked and in Finland it seems to be around 2,55โฌ. I long for the days of 1โฌ cheeseburgers but it's still far from 5โฌ
Haven't been in a while, but these were 2 for $3.50 pretty recently around me. The thing is, they are small and you wouldn't think it could fill you up, but whatever chemicals they add to these things makes just 1 small burger feel like you overate. Eating what, for me, is like 3 bites of food should not make you feel that way. It's unnatural and you can feel the unhealthiness. ๐คฃ
Gimme the big-ass burrito made by the little old Mexican lady in a truck around a construction job site. It'll cost the same, but taste better and not make me feel like I'm gonna die.
That's usually a feature of good food. I agree that it's odd that a hamburger would be that way, but usually what causes that is fiber.
Oh yes. Iโm a convert to burrito shops. Cost is about the same as fast food chains, without the chemicals and corporate crap, and I get to support local families. Also, delicious. Win, win, WIN!
Yeah McDonald's is purely for on the road. Other food in its price range is leagues above. There's better options on the road too, but McDonald's is so small and minimal, it's easy to eat with one hand and steer with the other; no mess.
Ok, but it's also only for 9 hours on one specific day of the year, that day also only happening every 4 years
they had 3 cheeseburgers for $1 promos back then a lot too. My mom was poor and she would rain burgers on us every time they would get that cheap.
