It's not a math thing that you can just multiple. It's more of what a low price is considered.

I measure in sandwiches. A $6 sandwich 10 years ago is $15-$20 today.

Edit: maybe 15 years.

Also when I was a little boy in the 90s school lunch cost $1.50.

In 2013 you couldn’t buy a $6 sandwich worth having

Lol, it’s just weird that we say 10 years right now and we feel like it’s early 00’s. Or at least I do. Really 10 years is the new 20 years rn. The 00’s are as close to the 80’s as we are to the 00’s

Yeah dude that covid timewarp really fucked me up. It was not a joke lol. Like I could be fully convinced that we spilled over into another timeline at some point during covid cause that’s the only thing that explains why my sense of time is SO FUCKED UP now 😂😂

Subway still had their $5 footlongs at some locations back then. Not that you're wrong or anything, just 2013 is a lot better than 2016 where every location had stopped selling them altogether.
