See, here's the thing. For as long as I can remember, I've only gotten the cheapest / bottom-tier items from any fast food place. McDonald's regular ol' hamburgers and cheeseburgers, Taco Bell's standard tacos, whatever.

A McChicken is still $1.00. A hamburger is $1.09. A Bean Burrito is $1.19. A Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Wendy's) is $1.00.

They are a little more than they used to be, and the selection's definitely thinner than it was, but the fact is that I can still go to a fast food place and load up on my old favorites for next to nothing.

The higher-priced "premium" items never interested me because as soon as I start paying that much, I might as well go to a better "fast-casual" place like Chipotle or Panera, or just stay at home and make food myself.

It's always amazed me that the most basic fast food items have changed so little. I find it comforting, actually.
