Bro, growing up a 20oz bottle of coke was 99¢, fed minimum wage was $7.25 then.
Now a coke is $3.50 and fed minimum wage is $7.25.
I could buy almost 7 cokes with tax at fed min as a kid. Now you can barely buy 2.

REAL! And I feel like it’s even more shocking cause it’s happened so fast. Ik ofc things were even cheaper before we were born but I don’t think prices went up so dramatically in such a short amount of time like it’s happened now
