Who remembers how much a Big Mac used to be?

4/10 The only one I had more than a pure guess at was the cheeseburger. There was a Burger Chef within walking distance and I bought my fair share of cheeseburgers from them.
I do want to try a triple ripple cone!

The 70's were wonderful in many ways, great music, cheap gas, inexpensive fast food..even great TV at times.....it's fun to look back.....
I was a kid. I wasn't paying attention to the cost of things. And it showed on this quiz: 2 out of 10!
As a teenager, I used to work at a family owned business called Wright's Dairy-Rite. I was a car hop and it was the most fun working there. Served all the usual ice cream favorites as well as burgers, dogs, fries, onion rings, etc.... Home of the Super Burger and "Broasted" Chicken! 🤤 Still in business after 70 years! Hey Mr. Cash!! 😊
Missed the coffee, cheeseburger and ice cream cone. Pretty good. All guesses. I was 7. Back then, my hamburgers had to be plain. I have certainly changed my tune now! 😊
8/10 - of course, having dined there every Friday after elementary school for several years I should at least have a vague memory of the costs
