We're cooked.

Edit:

General consensus is the movie took place around 1982. $5 then would be almost $20 now, possibly more.

Would you buy it?

There's always been inflation. It was relatively low until CoVID, then it jumped for a short while.

    This isn't inflation, we've been in gouging territory for decades now.

    Specifically on milkshakes? If it's on everything it pretty much looks and acts like inflation anyway.

    A $5.00 milkshake in the middle of 1993, when the movie was shot, would cost $11.22 today if it went up at the same rate as the CPI.
