I think that's an optimistically low price for a McChicken and long time frame for the US dollar but maybe.

Have you been to a taco bell recently? They've jacked up the price of most items. A bean and rice burrito (in the 'value' menu) now costs $3.5...

I went about a week ago and got like 3 2 dollar menu items and a 1$ cheese rollup thing and it was like 6.58 or something like that. It filled me up so i was impressed that i could do that with 6 bucks still especially these days.

3x $2 items and $1 cheese roll up, along with tax adding up to $6.58? I see that you are well regarded in the field of elementary mathematics.

Overall, I do agree though, taco bell does give some of the best value fast food.
