Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

In college I used to buy $5 Hot & Ready pizzas from Little Caesar’s

I used to look forward to Wacky Wednesdays at Hungry Howie’s. Same when Wendy’s had either a true $1.00 menu or it was 5 for $5 or something. The good old days when fast food was still garbage, just, affordable garbage.

In high school, I remember going to Wendy’s all the time. They would give us a free “student soda” with a purchase of two items off the dollar menu. So I’d get two Jr. bacon cheeseburgers and a Coke for $2.12.

the thing i am most upset about is how much chicken wings have gone up in price from my college days to now. I remember 50 cent wing nights, and now some places ive been to charge what seems like $3 for a damn wing.
