I remember my dad and step-dad complaining about the price of gas going up to $0.99 in the late '70s, not to mention the lines around the block when stations had gas to sell. As kids we drank a lot of RC because it was $0.15 for a can compared to a can of Pepsi or Coke being $0.25. When the price of cans went up to $0.50, RC still stayed lower at $0.25 so we still drank a lot of it. I remember going to Taco Bell with my younger brother in the early '90s and we'd get filled to the point of bursting for $5 each. We'd each get two value meals and a Nacho supreme for that $5. Good luck trying to do that today. One of my favorite pizza shops to order from in Pittsburgh used to sell a small pepperoni and sausage pie for $4.25 delivered. Now it's about $8 according to my brother. Their minimum cost to deliver was $4 and now it's $15 he said.
