Original Note:
The big mac prices list here are incorrect. A big mac in 1980 cost > $0.50 (~$1.20 according to https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/qfoyqa/mcdonalds_prices_in_1980/). The US average big mac price today is ~$5.15 according to the Big Mac Index (https://www.economist.com/big-mac-index). The tweet also lacks context about minimum vs average wage and regional differences in min wages.
