Adjusted for inflation, $2.50 in 1988 is equal to $6.43 in 2023. Which is still great for an order of ribs. Though, the 1 dollar coke would be $2.57 now, so probably don't get the drink
Absolute legends in this scene. Isaac "Chef" Hayes, Jim Brown, and Bernie Casey, RIP all. Fun Fact: Bernie Casey played for the 49ers and the Rams and was a pro bowler when the game actually meant something.
@@SocialistFinn1 thats still cheap. The average raw rack of ribs these days is like 6-10 dollars and has 8-12 ribs so its like 0.75$-1.25$ per raw rib so paying a dollar per rib when they are already smoked and sauced is a really good deal
It's okay. In a couple of years it'll be $250 and we can adjust to such easy math. Just take what it was worth in the mid-80s and multiply it by 100. You'll still get whatever wage you currently have, though. They won't change that, of course.
I'll agree that my parents (who are boomers) are selfish fucks, but to say they had it easy is bullshit. I know how hard they worked then to get where they are at.

Besides that, don't believe everything you see in the movies. Yeah, we could eat for 2 or 3 dollars in the 80's, but that's still like 7-8 bucks these days.
+The Internet Killed Music the internet definitely killed music. it gave all these clown, no talent havin ass people an outlet. people who really didn't even put in any work to get where they're at. back in the days people use to struggle, take trips and sacrifice everything just for a shot, nowadays these kids sit in their momma's basement and make some corny ass video and it ends up going viral and there you have it, a career. that's why so many of these new kats fade in and out of the scene
This scene is legendary to me. I loved it the 1st time I saw it. By the way, anyone notice how big the bag was and how full and heavy it seemed to be for having just 1 rib in it.
Thang Nguyen There's a show about those kind of people on TLC called Extreme Cheapskates. Those people are stupidly cheap to the point where its absurd. I remember there were these parents who washed their dishes outside in a kiddie pool full of used water in order to save on their water bill. Their kids were even playing in the pool while they were washing their dishes. And on top of that they had virtually no furniture in their house. I remember another one where this lady got all of her food out of the garbage. She would go through the garbage that was thrown out by grocery stores and restaurants and pick out any untouched food that wasn't spoiled. She even prepared dinner with that food for a couple of friends she invited over. I will never understand how some people can actually choose to live their lives like that. I can understand saving money by using coupons or buying the off brand of an item or buying something used, stuff like that. But when you go out of your way to live like a bum to do it then I think its safe to say you have some issues they need immediate attention.
avirx8 did you see the fake lasagna (not) cooked in the dishwasher? NASTY. then, this big guy, she timed his showers. He says, "Look at the size of me! Do you think I can wash all this in five minutes?"
I rented this movie on VHS, didn't know anything about it just wanted a comedy to watch. Think I watched it at least 3 times before taking it back. And the pimp with the goldfish in his shoes, that just kills me 🤣🤣🤣
Shiggy No, I mean according to all those I know who were alive in the 1980s, $2.50 actually got you something. Hell, $2.50 wasn't too bad in the 90s, either. I'm not saying it could fill up a gas tank, but it had a lot more power then than it does now.
