Depends on the place I guess. The old I’ve cream place in town? That’s a little pricey, but not unheard of. One of those smoothie places? I don’t think they have anything that cheap.
How much is like a dairy Queen shake these days? I’m blessed with an abundance of quality local establishments so I haven’t been in a while.
Someone show “Pulp Fiction” to a Gen Z and ask them what they think about the $5.00 milkshake
$5 in 1994 = $11.27 in today’s money. I’m not from the US, is that egregious or standard today?
The official inflation counter is nonsense.
Do a quick search of actual 1994 prices if you don’t believe me.
And $12.00 is what you’d spend at a high end restaurant or hotel for a 2026 milk shake.
Even Shake Shack, which is a good shake but still corporate fast food is like $8.
More than I would pay for one
I don’t know if it’s worth $11.27 but it’s pretty fucking good.
Adjust it for M2 supply. That is true inflation.
