No problem, as salaries also trippled in that time
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
/s
:::Maybe not tripled, but making 7.25-10/hour was pretty common in 2008. The standard today is 15-20/hour at fast food.
I'm aware this doesn't justify tripling the price. Even 3x wages would not triple the cost of the burger.

Yet $7.25 is still the federal minimum wage today

$10 Aud gets you a proper burger in Oz at a bakery or takeaway spot, you'll pay $20+ Aud inc chips/fries in a pub/bistro, but either way you have to tackle them to stop them putting fucking pickled beetroot on it first, dark times all round indeed..

They created like 40% more money supply in the span of a single year. It then rises at about 10% a year on average, due to a CPI that does adjustments at the whims of some entity whose goal seems to be to understate inflation.

Man in my country the trash burger joints (the burgers are good they just look or feel nothing like classical burgers, they put in a ton of salad and shit to make it bigger) used to do 1.80 and such. The most famous one did a gigantic one for I think 2.50 back in.... 2013. Same burger now is 6.50
In our case the minimum salary has nearly tripled, so it's kinda OK, but it's kinda sad that economic growth is just canceled out by rising prices.

Is that cheap, by current standards? I'm in Australia, and so is the commenter I asked, but where I am it's unheard of for burgers to be much below $20.

Coming out of left field here, but… scaling beef production is not very sustainable?
Like, unless it’s a rare treat, I feel like beef has to go artificial or prices keep going up, even if wealth distribution is worked out.

10€ is ~18AUD
There's cheaper burgers, but I wouldn't really call them burgers with the cheap frozen patties and bread. It's definitely on the cheaper side though, as i've paid 14€ for a burger in the past.
So I guess it's pretty much the same.
