$3.70 adjusted for inflation is $5.11. A double double now costs $6.35-$6.50 (depending on your location)

Burgers are also used to compare purchasing power parity via the Big Mac Index. Although The Economist is a British publication, it’s funny to think they did it so readers can relate better

So I tried to actually verify what a current in-n-out burger costs and learned two things: In-n-Out does not offer online ordering at all so you can’t look up their prices online. There’s a whole ecosystem of ai slop websites explicitly trying to give you the prices of in-n-out burgers. Those all seem to suggest that in-n-outs burgers are all still less than 5 dollars. If you really want to see some inflation look at Taco Bell. Their prices were usually the lowest but they’ve inflated more than any other brand something like 300%.

I miss California. Not the insanely high cost of living and the crackheads breaking into my car, but I do miss it a lot.
