So there's a place I'd go to that used to sell these real big chicken sandos and at some point they raised the price like a buck or 2. Inflation happened and it's like what to them would be a kids meal portion size and for other places would be the normal. Price hasn't gone down. Flavor is still good. 🤷‍♂️

In my small little town, the local shyster opened up a deli on main street just before the start of covid. The least expensive sandwich on the menu was a $14 grilled cheese sandwich. Next step up were the $16 - $18 burgers. At the time, there was nothing in town to attract people to come here to eat, and those prices pretty much excluded the vast majority of the locals from being able to afford to eat there regularly. Anyway, my family and I went one time, just to give it a chance since we like to support local business as much as we can. Needless to say we weren't surprised when the place close down within the year.

So, I'm thinking that completely randomly chosen number probably doesn't specifically hold up universally everywhere.
