How Much Did McDonald’s Cost in 1972?

Posted on by

Me-TV did a quiz about the cost of McDonald’s food in 1972.  Sadly, the quiz isn’t available any longer, so you can’t test your knowledge of Mickey-D’s way back when.

As you can see above, I got six out of ten correct.  Not great, but not too bad.  We didn’t eat out much when I was a kid.  A McDonald’s hamburger and shake was a real treat.  The cost seems pretty cheap by today’s prices but you have to remember minimum wage was $1.60 an hour in 1972.
