> But yeah, inflation's only low-single-digits percent a year. LOL sure.
Compounded inflation/interest is pretty powerful.
2% compounded over 25 years (to mark your "mid-90s" reference) would be a 64% increase, which lines up with your 50+% pretty directly.
Agreed that Pizza Hut sucks now. I sometimes wonder which has changed -- the me, or the thing. Good to know that at least with Pizza Hut, it's not all in my head.
My personal pet peeve is the plastic playing pieces of board games. Formerly well-weighted and painted, now thin cheap and with a bad sticker. How much can plastic playing pieces actually cost?
I wonder if Monopoly still ships with cast metal pieces...
