Inflation is increasing faster than how fast the times change. The things which you could get at cheap prices a few years ago, today their prices are touching the sky. Same is the case with food items also. Take McDonald’s. The prices of this food chain, world famous for its burgers, are quite expensive today, but have you ever wondered what its price would have been 30 years ago (30 year old McDonald’s). If you want to know this, then you will have to look at the menu of this McDonald’s deserted on a deserted island. Seeing this you will understand how low the prices used to be in that period.
According to the report of Mirror website, there is a deserted island in the Alaska region of America, named Adak Island, Alaska, USA. According to the 2020 census, the population here was 171. An old McDonald’s restaurant has also been built on this island, which will remind you of the bygone era. But the list of its menu posted outside this restaurant keeps going viral on social media. You will be surprised to see this list because it will tell you how cheap things used to be in the 1990s.
This McDonald’s was built years ago
A YouTuber named Chris Luckhard had posted a video of this McDonald’s in January 2023. He went to the island, and showed people what the prices were. According to the information given along with Mirror website and Chris’s video, this island was made an Army and Navy base during the Second World War. McDonald’s was established here in 1986. But when the security forces were removed from here in the 1990s, McDonald’s also ended its business from here.
This was the earlier price
Even today its building and the menu displayed outside are safe. According to the Mirror website, at that time a Big Mac was available for 1.93 pounds (Rs 202), but today the same Big Mac is available for Rs 512. At that time, chicken nuggets were available for up to Rs 73. Happy meals used to cost up to Rs 105. David Kleiman, financial strategist of Kleiman Financial, while talking to HuffPost, said that the prices of McDonald’s depend on inflation, petrol-gas prices, commercial property prices, interest rates, health insurance prices etc.
