I was born in 2001 so I wasn't around in the '90s but damn were those prices so cheap back in '99. I really like your content man, thanks for uploading them.
It wasn't cheap in context. I worked at Wendy's during the glory years of their value $1 menu. I rarely bought food even with my discount because a meal was an hour or more of pay. Wages were so low until about 10 years ago.
I worked at BK in '98 for six months. They must've added that cheese and onion sandwich after I left. I didn't eat BK for quite a while after leaving. That Chk'n Crisp she ordered at 3:15 was SO good. It was a small value size sandwich. It just included a little mayo and 2-3 pickle slices. Their current small round chicken sandwich doesn't taste the same. I'd never tried pickle on a chicken sandwich before Chk'n Crisp. Now I wouldn't order one anywhere without them. I also miss their grilled chicken sandwich. It changed names a lot before they finally dropped it altogether. When I worked there, it was called the BK Broiler. It has the grilled taste on the outside and came with lettuce, mayo, and tomato. I would also have them add cheese and pickle. Then, dipped in ranch while eating....the best.
Wow, I didn't realize how diverse the BK menu was back then. I always was a McDonald's kid and when I got BK - of course I always got a whopper or whopper jr. Thanks for sharing the great memories.
@@classicwhitebread Yup. I remember even just a few years before Covid things were still significantly more affordable and on top of that wages were also a lot lower but the key difference is that most people could still comfortably afford it because inflation wasn’t a thing. Nowadays people are getting paid a lot more but inflation has surpassed that and even with being paid more it makes it harder to afford that $10 meal/person nowadays and everything else we buy because everything else has skyrocketed. Again I’m no expert but that’s just what I see.
wtf u talking about it's beautiful at anytime you're at. u probably watching it on your phone while pooping or laying down or at the stop light. they don't get that and most likely called us living the dream if they could time travel. 1999 we were using 56k modem dial up and DSL was being introduce soon later. the only thing different that we don't get now is people don';t let random camera man go in their car and they were more socialize in real person and more trust worthy. but the 80's and 90's was more trustworthy and also more serial killers.
He goes to the dining room to see what leftover food people have that they haven’t eaten . He will act like he’s working and ask them if They can throw the food away for them. Then it all goes down his mouth.
Watching this actually makes me wanna go to burger king now. Lol i never understood how ppl can eat just a burger with no french fries. So weird to me. My food has to be complete burger and fries.
Omg I remember King Size!!! BK tasted better back then to I promise, actually all the major chains, McDonald's, KFC, Wendy's tasted way better than now 🥺 And the prices back then, whew, life sucks now 🥺
This BK is still very much here and has barely changed since 1999. Only thing that's really changed is the inside decor and the order machine is no longer there. Oh, and the damn prices!
I miss the 90s Burger King. I thought it was a lot better back then. What was with the siren in the background at 10:17? I guess that I am assuming that they test the tornado sirens every Wednesday at noon. They do that around here every Wednesday. This must be the location on 409 Old Country Rd?
Same here BK was the closes place in my house its brings back so many memories I completely forgot about the KING SIZE was a thing made me shred a tear remembering it.
Omg I remember the old bk chicken tenders. They were so good lol everything then was good 😢😢😢. Times have changed so much. The worker is so nice too. Not.. Anything else? Anything else? Is that it?
I see some things never change. Whenever I go through the drive thru they always jump in while I'm still ordering and then get confused and we have to start over. Just let people tell you what they want and stop trying to act like you have a crystal ball trying to guess what they want when they're literally trying to tell you. The most important part of the job is listening to what people say!
The very same year the 'crescent' bun-halves logo was introduced, but was just before then. Now the classic bun-halves is back, albeit with different proportions on the top bun half and a custom font that tries too hard to be a hybrid of the 1969-1994 and the 1994-1999 variant.
Wow I didn't see any snow and ice in the video. Maybe that's what contributed to these many food orders at this location. People in a somewhat cheerful mood for spring. 🌻
The prices were great compared to today. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour now. Back then, it was $5.65. Not much increase yet, look at prices now. I remember it all well, even in the 1960s my house cost $9,000 in 1965. Same house today is $800,000. Inflation is out of control, but it has been for decades.
mmm, old style BK fries, those were the best. funny to see all those 80's and 70's era cars IMO, you don't see many any more, but back then it was like seeing mid 90's and early 2000's cars today. it's a trip to see a mid to late 90's Pontiac Grand Prix all shiny and new, now most are long gone and the ones that remain are pretty worn out and pooched. i can almost bet money that shiny new silver grand prix didn't live to see 2010 before rust killed it being it's NY and road salt causes rust cancer like crazy. march of 99, this was only 2 months before The Phantom Menace, crazy to think the prequel era of star wars really began 23 long hard years ago. didn't BK have TPM toys with there kids meals?
Do anybody notice how short those lines are? Nowadays I literally have to pull up with my music blaring in order to get them to hurry up and move the line like it’s supposed to be. That is sad
There was a BK commercial several years ago that showed a dude ramming a car in the driveway moving it out of the way bc he was so eager to get his meal. Thats how I feel at fast food drive thrus now. 😂
I used to love BK’s kids meals lol they gave good toys at that time! I remember Toy Story in 97 I think at that time 99 or 00 they were giving the teletubbies lol and Pokemon

a whopper meal for $4.21 and in May 2023 a whopper meal is between $11-$13 depending on the size you get
I get coupons in the mail, $7 for a whopper combo

I can't believe these prices. Now you have to take out a line of credit to afford the fast food.
did prices rise suddenly fast at one point within the last 20 years? meals are like 10$ more expensive
That's awesome that they show the order to you on the speaker itself. Why did we downgrade years later by not showing it at all?
Its good to know that ordering food was just as complicated in 1999. I guess somethings never change. 6:54
$4.21 for a king size meal, and you get change back when you pay with a $5 bill. The good old days.
