But as the commercial below shows, in 1987 they were offering a McDonald’s double cheeseburger for $.99 for “a limited time.” 21 years later, you can still get a double cheeseburger (or at least a McDouble) off the dollar menu. Despite rising prices on just about everything, you can still eat damn cheap at fast food places – your health and stomach might not thank you, but in these tough economic times your wallet will.
On a side note, look closely at the burger patties. Are those pieces of onions cooked INTO the burger patty?

Those were the good old days. You could still tell it was beef back then.

I hate how healthier food has to be more expensive…
