▲ 198 ▼ In Pulp Fiction Vincent made a big deal about a $5 milkshake, which is less than a crappy one from a fast food joint costs today.

Edit: General consensus is the movie took place around 1982. $5 then would be almost $20 now, possibly more. Would you buy it?

McDonald's looks to be the cheapest fast food shake near me in Chicago. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 5 months ago (2 children) Wendy's, Jack in the Box, In-n-Out, Raising Cane's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, and Foster Freeze all are cheaper by almost 2 dollars. I didn't check Taco Bell; do they even have shakes? I wonder if it has anything to do with how local the dairy itself is. I am in the central valley of california surrounded by dairy farms. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago Maybe. Chicago is fairly high CoL, but so is CA. And we have a lot of dairy just north of the cheddar curtain, it's usually priced either the same as other goods or cheaper. permalink fedilink source parent [–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago Taco Bell has some abomination of a cookie flavored slurpee, I think it’s the closest they’ve gotten. It’s four bucks. permalink fedilink source parent
