$8 will barely buy you a combo meal. A cheeseburger fries and coke is $8 here @ McD's.
I wasn't sure but I was hoping that someone would chime in and set me straight on this. I can certainly believe that it would be more than $20, and given all the recent supply chain issues in the US, I guess $30 is pretty believable. Wow, $8.00 for a fast food combo meal, I guess that $8.00 teishoku meal was a tremendous bargain, I hope the strong dollar lasts for a while.
