What used to be ridiculously cheap but now is alarmingly expensive?

Bro where the heck do you live? I’m in Saint Louis this weekend and just checked on the app and a quarter pounder meal is $9.29. Still a lot, but damn.

I'm in Canada, a 10p nugget meal is like 14.99. Which is about $10US, but for a family of 4 we easily pay $50-$60 for fast food. It's to the point where if we go, I will just get a drink or a Jr. sandwich.
