      tori toscanini if you adjust it to today’s inflation rate, it’s cost around $1.25, which is still relatively cheap. Nowadays, a plate of French fries is like $3.99

      Minimum wage was like $2.65 ph I made $11,000 a year and that was pretty good. So 40 cents for a plate of fries was actually expensive

      These commercials were made before I was born. I'm a late 80's child, I got to live through 2 & a 1/2 years, before the 80's ended. I miss these days, I miss the 90's, & early 2000's, wish I could go back in time. Those were the good old days. I remembered Gas prices being so low $10 would get you a half of a tank of Gas, and minimum wage jobs were $5 an hour. Everything was cheaper back then. The 80's and 90's were the time to be alive, before cellphones existed. Kids respected their parents, and elders.

The phone hung on the wall in your kitchen and mom stuck a note on the fridge if anyone called when you were out! Tattoos were only seen on bikers and prison inmates.

However, drink the entire bottle and, according to that same label, it's 10 calories. Now I'm no expert in math, but 0 + 0 + 0 does not equal 10.
