Being Canadian I was so wondering at prices in the states (from tv, movies) during the early 90s. You’d see a greasy spoon diner have breakfast for like $3.50 in them, usually closer to $6-7 up here for the same (noticbly more after exchange rate). The crappy fast food milkshakes were like $4 minimum let alone a theme restraunt with Steve Buscemi as a waiter.

Though I do often use the inflation calculation when I see a price from the 90s and earlier these days just to make sure I got the right perspective on cost.
