Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain’t a joke for a drink size! BTW, that’s supposed to be sweet tea, but it’s bitter as hell…

    Yeah, by today’s ‘standards’, if that’s what you’re used to.

    This is the shrinkflation community, some of us remember when an actual adult size meal was $5, not this kids sized shit.

    Hell, the drink cup is even smaller than their official small size.

            Well thanks for the insult. I’ve never weighed in over 149 pounds (67.6 kilograms), well within a healthy weight range for my height and metabolism.

            Edit: Also, not everyone eats 3 times a day, I surely don’t need to. I usually only eat once or twice a day, whenever I’m hungry.

              Well, I’m very glad that you are not feeding yourself this garbage regularly. If you did regularly eat that, thinking it’s not a whole meal, you would become overweight.

                To that, I can fully agree 👍

                I was taught that there’s two types of people. Those that live to eat, and those that eat to live.

                I’m in the latter category, I only eat when I’m hungry.

          Okay, so we’re the same age. This is still a lot of calories. And $1.99 would be more expensive today. You have to think in real terms.

          Also, I remember the Happy meals, and no you wouldn’t. You would get a six piece chicken nugget with fries and a drink and no burger. Or a burger with fries and no chicken nuggets.

            It’s just enough calories for me, it fills my belly, and I’m not fat.

            The point is it costs way too much for what it is.

                In 1990, I got my first two pairs of prescription glasses for $40. Today, they quote me over $300 for my prescription, for a single pair of glasses.

                Does that add up in your fancy inflation calculator?

                    You know prescriptions are only valid for a year right? Shit ain’t cheap yo.

                    Edit: Gotta get a new exam and all, they can’t even legally send me new glasses with my old prescription.

                    Not directly related to my original post, agreed. But related to the community in general, SHRINKFLATION

                I’d get a large strawberry milkshake, a burger that was wider, more fries, 6 nuggets, and a toy back then, so no, still getting less today.
