In my senior year of high school I worked evenings at Burger King, I remember that with tax, a Whopper, fry and large coke was .$96.

In the early 70s, while I was in the Navy, once we got out into international waters, the cost of a carton of cigs in the ship's store was $2.00. We would load up.

That .27 cent pack of Camels was .10 cents in Kentucky due to no tax on Tobacco. There is a town on the Tennessee - Kentucky border named Southgate Kentucky after one of my ancestors . Right on that border was a rather large and popular night club . I was known for drawing equally from KY and TN due to the fact that Ky was dry at that time and TN taxed the hound out of Tobacco. You could walk in the door on the KY side to the TN side and buy all the liquor and beer you wanted , taxed and not , then carry it out on the KY side and be legal as the law only barred selling alcohol in KY not drinking it or owning it. Ky cigarettes had 0 tax applied so the .27 cent pack minus tax was .10-.11 cents . My dad would carry a 300 Chrysler load of liquor up there for Nick Wise who owned Wise Liquor Stores in Nashville and drop it off and bring back a 300 Chrysler full of smokes . That was in the late 50's and early 60's when those 300's were huge and very fast . I was getting cigars in Pulaski Tennessee the other day and asked the price on the unfiltered Camels and Lucky's and they get $13.95 a pack your choice.
This probably needs to be renamed as it seems to have become the new " Lung Cancer / COPD Thread " !

In the late '80s or early '90s I remember the 2 Whoppers for $1.99 specials. I'm trying to remember how much Taco Bell sold the 10-packs of crispy tacos for, but it has just been too long.
