If I paid $500 for a dinner back in 1984...
 

what's that equivalent to in today's market? $1000? $1500?

$957

I did the math it all checks out

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

like he said about $1k or so :thumbsup

i am assuming you calculated this by annual inflation rate? dont forget to add in the value loss of the dollar.. i would say more like $1200-$1300

the problem with $500 dinners is, they all turn to shit:upsidedow

Doesn't inflation take that into account?

:1orglaugh

yep about $1k

what did you eat? Panda bear?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

all dinners turn to shit at one point :upsidedow

the dollar value for the same meal today would likely be the equivelent of Juicy's post count!

500 ...food cost went down after the beruit invasion
