I remember growing up, being able to go to McDonald’s on Sunday or Wednesday and get like a whole big bag of burgers/cheeseburgers with $5 because they were 29-39 cents each.
Seems like it’s from the 50s or 60s; but this was the 90s!
(Though… Shit. I am still old enough to be a grandpa 😩)
That alone would cost like €5 here. It only ever makes sense to go there when I’ve been driving for the whole day and just need to eat plain old boring food. For another few euros I can go to something like the Salsa Shop and get a massive burrito that’ll keep me full for half a day. Ironically, it’s often multiple times faster than THE fast food restaurant.
Haven’t been in a while, but these were 2 for $3.50 pretty recently around me. The thing is, they are small and you wouldn’t think it could fill you up, but whatever chemicals they add to these things makes just 1 small burger feel like you overate. Eating what, for me, is like 3 bites of food should not make you feel that way. It’s unnatural and you can feel the unhealthiness. 🤣
Gimme the big-ass burrito made by the little old Mexican lady in a truck around a construction job site. It’ll cost the same, but taste better and not make me feel like I’m gonna die.

That’s usually a feature of good food. I agree that it’s odd that a hamburger would be that way, but usually what causes that is fiber.
