When I went to college minimum wage was $3.10 and a gallon of gas was $1.25. And inflation was 13.5%.

Boy have times changed
I can remember $0.29 a gallon and if you went towards Daytona Beach on 95 you could see the gas wars for $0.19.

That's all right. Blake will be telling his grand kids he remembers working in MickyD's when his happy meal wasn't $15 and it still had a real toy in it.....
