    Fucked up? It’s not a matter of what “should be.” It was reality for decades. When were you born?

    When I was growing up dominos did the “5-5-5” deal. $15+tax for 3 medium 1-topping pizzas. You can feed like 6-10 people with that depending on their age. You’re talking like $2 a person.

    $1 menus included 1-2 sandwich options. Usually a chicken sandwich (obviously fried not grilled).

    Meals with fries and drinks were $4-6 all in.

    This was the 90’s and 2000’s. You could feed a family of 4 with $10 or less without much thought.

      It was possible to feed people for less than $1/serving then. Fast food has always been more expensive than home cooking on a per serving basis.

      No it wasn’t, a frozen pizza was always cheaper than dominos. And I don’t know what kind of little only eat one third of a medium pizza.

      I usually finished one myself. Well okay, I’m a big man, but still.
