That 8pc 'family meal' feeds 2 people. The sweet teas don't count as food - they may as well be dumped down the sink. Feeding a family of four would need 2 of those 8 piece meals, so $60.

Looking at the Popeyes menu, the 8pc family meal is $32.99 and feeds 3-4 people (3218-3738 calories) If that’s not enough, you order the larger portion, not double your quantity. 12pc family meal: $42.99 for 4-6 people (4992-6032 calories) 16pc family meal: $52.99 for 6-8 people (6766-8326 calories) Have you folks seen a Popeyes family meal? They’re not tiny… eating that many calories in one sitting is not the best i…

Half those calories are from the drinks. Like I said, pour it down the drain, it just pumps the numbers.

I recently heard that a trip to Popeye's for a family of 3 recently cost $68 in Florida. In Japan, there's a big issue when a snack raises its price 2 cents (3 yen - source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/japanese-snack-company-apolog... ) The country for better or worse seems to be frozen in time - salaries have not caught up with the heady levels of SV (or even Europe) but neither have rents or prices for common go…

> In Japan, there's a big issue when a snack raises its price 2 cents No, there really isn't. You're looking at one company that "apologized" as a marketing play but outside of that prices have been increasing with no fanfare for years now. The annual inflation rate has been 2-3% for the past 4 years. It's a lot less interesting to write a news article about that though. https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/cpi/158c.h…

I think this is a bit disingenuous. Japan spent nearly all of the last 30 years needling deflation. If you take a look at the highest grossing movies of all time in Japan with and without adjusting for inflation, it barely changes. Do that for the US and it's an entirely different list.

Normal inflation for the last 4 years is basically still nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Interestingly Wind Waker's art style was its main detractor among critics when it was released, which is wild and incomprehensible to me now. One of my favorite games of all time.

Part of this was the Spaceworld 2000 demo creating expectations for a game which looked basically like Ocarina of Time but on the GameCube. Then when Twilight Princess came out people missed the Wind Waker art style and the cycle continued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNrOHY2HZqs

Yes, Nintendo have themselves to blame for the next-gen OoT hype train. In fans' eyes, they promised but didn't deliver.

A lot of companies seem to not do consistent raises for inflation

In Sweden, there's a fundamental agreement between companies, the state and unions to not have raises follow inflation (as it becomes reinforcing and hurting the rack economy). Now, there's always discussion (you can guess who's arguing what if inflation is high and low...), but overall it seems to work pretty good.

I never considered the two are linked. Any research or modeling that shows this is true? Is it generalisable to other countries...

We Americans are used to overeating. In Asia 1 piece of chicken and a small side (kids size) is enough for 1 person.

Their family meals don’t include drinks.

No, that's about right in my (very limited) recent experience. It's _very_ easy to spend as much at a fast food restaurant these days as you would at a sit-down restaurant, especially if you don't do one of their combo meals, or add one or two extra items to your order The crazy high prices and general unhealthiness aside, my main beef (if you'll pardon the pun) with fast food places is that more and more of them are…

What? Where are you going? What does "taking orders via AI" even mean? I have never once been in a fast food restaurant anywhere in the US that didn't have counter service, self-serve ordering kiosks, or both.

The McDonald's drive through.

Annualized inflation this year (in the USA) is 10%. I heard Japan is worse. So they only get a 5% pay cut instead of a 15% pay cut? Hooray.

> Annualized inflation this year (in the USA) is 10% Source? I think that's about 2-2.5x the figure that everyone else is using.
