1. That's a holiday/Christmas special
2. Those prices don't even seem that amazing. Using the $14.99 veggie platter on the bottom right as a reference, that's the equivalent of $28.56 today

Unless you mean it'd be cool if inflation didn't exist. In which case - sure, why tf not.

12 packs of soda 2 for $3 is an insanely good deal

Am I crazy or does this stuff not seem that impressive?

Like some of this seems comparable to what I pay at Walmart rn

Oh, i didn't really look that hard and I'm honestly in a grumpy gus type of mood

It's legit bizarre to me how expensive soda has gotten over the years

Yeah the price of corn syrup and water must have skyrocketed.

God damn those platters are ridiculously over priced. I never buy shit like that but I dont remember them being THAT ridiculous back then.

As for the other food stuff its not mind blowing on some of it. Even in current day Turkey was just on sale for me locally for .99 cents a pound at Thanksgiving and at other times and Ham around other holidays usually will go on sale for similar prices. We even have deals where you buy a ham and get a free Turkey.

I only drink sprite or craft root beer, but the prices for both are buckwild. Especially since the root beer I buy comes in 4 packs.

A 12 pack of Coke in the store near me is well over $10 normal price and a "sugar tax" to go along with it. Crazy stuff.

..those seem pretty expensive considering how much lower average income was back then.
Food in general really is something that has become cheaper over time

Yeah besides the sodas everything else isn't all that impressive.

Also you already know that in 20 years people are going to say that prices these days were cheap. Wow they only spent 3.99 for a gallon of milk back in 2024? I have to spend 12.49 for it now ._.
