Burgers are fine-dining now. Still trying to find cheap food that’s nutritious and doesn’t contain too much fiber for medical reasons. Eventually that will be fine dining prices too.
Gentrification came for flavortown.
Rent is now $4000/mth. No loitering.
The CEO’s, shareholders and the 1% need to make more! There is no fucking way I am going to spend $17.00 for a fucking cheeseburger.
Yup. As soon as I see a fancy toothpick in the picture, I know I should just leave.
We’re not in flavor town anymore, Toto.
One of my parents said that steaks were 35 cents when they were kids.
I am not looking forward to my Walmart cheese & breadstick snacks costing $70 bucks for a set of five.
In Pulp Fiction (1994) John Travolta’s character freaks out over the “5$ milkshake”.
What 'Murica thinks flavour is: fat, salt, sugar, shit.
Cheeseburger with bacon is a quintessential white man food.
Muslims and Jews cannot eat it. Indians are forbidden too. Asians don’t tolerate lactose and other minorities can’t afford it nowadays.
When on some day you feel cultural superiority in your veins, order a cheeseburger with bacon and know that you are amongst the selected few who can savour this delicacy
Put on a Burger King hat too for a good measure and order it sitting in your SUV. Celebrate this wonderful country
The Christian Bible has the same restrictions about eating pigs, but they just ignore it. A lot of Jewish people in the US do as well.
Muslims and Jews cannot eat it
Those are religions, not races.
other minorities can’t afford it nowadays.
Because minorities are poor?
Asians don’t tolerate lactose
Neither do I, but I’m having that ice cream and destroying that toilet.
Stop being weird. It’s unnecessary.
I was jesting, isn’t that obvious? However, I am always in the mood for an internet argument ⌨️
It’s not reddit, people can be sarcastic without the /s.
Guess what will happen to food prices in the US when farmers cannot exploit cheap migrants anymore…
Not to worry - they’ll be replaced with children and prisoners and robots.

$10 Aud gets you a proper burger in Oz at a bakery or takeaway spot, you’ll pay $20+ Aud inc chips/fries in a pub/bistro, but either way you have to tackle them to stop them putting fucking pickled beetroot on it first, dark times all round indeed…
Holy cow, where do you live that Burgers are still $10 anywhere.
Suburban fish and chip shops that have been around for 30 years and also sell either souvlaki or an assortment of chinese dishes.
I had a double smash cheeseburger for 9€ on friday in germany.
160g meat
No problem, as salaries also trippled in that time
Tap for spoiler
/s
Maybe not tripled, but making 7.25-10/hour was pretty common in 2008. The standard today is 15-20/hour at fast food.
I’m aware this doesn’t justify tripling the price. Even 3x wages would not triple the cost of the burger.
Yet $7.25 is still the federal minimum wage today
Yea pretty fucked up.
They created like 40% more money supply in the span of a single year. It then rises at about 10% a year on average, due to a CPI that does adjustments at the whims of some entity whose goal seems to be to understate inflation.
Consider me spoiled 😢
That seems to track. A local place near me burgers have gone from around 10 bucks about 7 years ago to 17-18 bucks a burger. Seems to be the going rate these days
AI burger meat is my favorite.
You mean your cheese slices don’t have more than 4 points?
That’s good, cause it’s all we’ll be able to afford in a few years.
In-N-Out
Is the objectively superior choice
Nice animation, but their burgers, at least around here, are atrocious. Really the worst of the worst.
I miss in n out but at least my current state has a cheap burger joint. Its not as good but the cheapest option is like 2.50 which im not sure how that’s financially possible tbh
Man in my country the trash burger joints (the burgers are good they just look or feel nothing like classical burgers, they put in a ton of salad and shit to make it bigger) used to do 1.80 and such. The most famous one did a gigantic one for I think 2.50 back in… 2013. Same burger now is 6.50
In our case the minimum salary has nearly tripled, so it’s kinda OK, but it’s kinda sad that economic growth is just canceled out by rising prices.
rotatingsandwiches.com mentioned! Probably one of the best website on the internet icl
Interior to Whataburger
I’ve heard Texans rave about that shit for years
Imagine my surprise when it was the worst burger I’ve ever had, I spit it out. Truly Texans are dipshits
hail corporate
Do we really not see that being on that show might have something to do with that?
