A recent report from The Street reveals that six American fast food companies have increased their prices by 77.4 percent in a span of 51 months, far outpacing the inflation rate over the same period.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, the overall inflation rate between December 2019 and March 2024 is about 21.5 percent.
Over the past five years, analysis shows that prices for the most popular items at major fast food chains have surged. For instance, at Burger King, the Whopper increased from $4.19 to $7.79, an 85.9 percent rise, while the Bacon Double Cheeseburger skyrocketed 117.9 percent, from $2.29 to $4.99. The average price increase across five Burger King items was 85.7 percent.
McDonald's saw the most dramatic hikes, with its cheeseburger jumping from $1 to $3.15, a staggering 215 percent increase. In-N-Out's Double Double burger went from $3.45 to $5.65, a 63.8 percent rise.
Taco Bell's prices also surged, with the Beefy 5-layer Burrito increasing from $1.69 to $3.69 β a 118.3 percent hike. The average increase at Taco Bell was 57.4 percent. Jack in the Box showed the least inflationary impact, with an average increase of 45 percent. Notably, their Two Tacos remained at $0.99, showing no price increase. Chick-fil-A's average increase was 80.1 percent, with its Deluxe Chicken Sandwich rising from $3.65 to $6.55, a 79.5 percent increase.
Overall, the prices at the six analyzed restaurants went up by an average of 77.4 percent between December 2019 and 2024.

Just in case anyone makes the mistake: Fast food prices increased massively because prices are going up massively because the inflation number from the government is a lie, and everyone who doesn't have their butler do the shopping knows it.
There's a story out there saying people are too stupid to realize how good they have it and the economy is doing great and employment has never been better and inflation is almost back to normal, and yeah -- people know what's going on regardless of what the government and the media try to pretend is going on.

The best conservative number for cumulative inflation was about 18% but I think it's higher than that.

"wow you rubes sure are dumb to not know how good you have it" is an odd campaign strategy
I think it's pretty obvious at this point that this is intentional.

Yeah, I've seen that too. The economy's rosy, everything's great and if you're not doing well it's just because you're a loser. Mostly they work in big tech or some gov funded NGO. They're grossly out of touch.

@BronzeAgeHogCranker @sj_zero @abgreport I like all these articles about how millennials and younger are splurging on high end groceries rather than eating out or using disposable income elsewhere. I want to belive they're being malicious, not so retarded they don't realize many people don't have disposable income so obviously a larger % of what they do have is spent on necessities LIKE FUCKING GROCERIES
