@kaia the inflation number is made up of a basket of goods I think, individual products could be more or less affected by inflation

@kaia food inflation was higher. much higher.

the rest probably different factors. chicken meat itself did double during that time.

oh and dont forget subsidies are huuuge with meat. btw also 40% of food gets thrown away in US.

starcross,

@kaia it's so obvious- chicken and general meat shortage... Definitely not greed /s

@kaia If you just factor in inflation of the money supply, the McChicken should cost $1.74, but it actually costs $4.00. This is because there are other factors responsible for price increases besides inflation, such as tariffs, cost of logistics, and supply / demand.

@kaia You really think corporations care about inflation? Their written agenda is to thrash in as much money as possible on the least expenditure

@kaia It's a poorly constructed meme pointing out that the 's increase in price over time is greater than the rate of inflation

@kaia the current price of a 🍔 costs 2.5 times even adjusted to inflation over the years

catty,

@kaia i miss the 2 euro long chickens, the 1 euro cheeseburgers and 4 euro 20 piece nuggets :((
better times :}
(now they are like 6, 3 and 10)

Miyokaya,

@catty @kaia I'm too young to know such greatness ​:sadcat:​ then again I've heard back then the ingredients were uh... not as high quality as nowadays

catty,

@Miyokaya @kaia that was honestly not that long ago :{
(the cheeseburgers maybe, but ive gotten those like thrice back then) (also those were with coupons which they simply dont do like this anymore :()
cant really tell but i tbh wouldnt expect the ingredients to have gone up in quality, the servings afaik have def gone down

Miyokaya,

@catty @kaia I do remember having maccies as a kid and it being like slop, versus now where its actually decent food that I crave when I see it, which you cant say for alot of fast food so ​:puniko_shrug:​

@Miyokaya @catty
ooooh that's a very interesting point. do you think McD quality improved overall?

Miyokaya,

@kaia @catty In the UK I suspect significantly. Afaik famously their food was like dog food back before I was born, and they were nearly dead in the UK till whoever owns them pushed a bunch of money into revitalizing (and more importantly making the franchises compliant with new EU food regs) the franchises.
