minus-square@protist@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish18•4 months agoEven at $3 it was a terrible deal for the quantity of food you actually get. Cereal has always been a ripoff, more about the marketing and added sugar than about being actual food
minus-square@yggstyle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•4 months ago2000ish you could put 10ish bucks in your car to nearly fill it, buy a meal from fast food for 5 more, and rent a movie with the change. 20 bucks. Now? 30-40 for 10 gallons. 10-15 for the same fast food meal. (Which got smaller btw) 2-5 still for the movie at Redbox (I think?) 40 - 60 bucks or 100-200% inflation over ~20 years. Neat.
