I was just thinking the other day, $5 is the new $2.
Specifically, I wanted a milkshake at the local (to work) fish and chippie. Five bucks, thickshake $6.50, extra scoop ice cream $2. That floored me, $8.50 for a thickshake with the works.
When I was a lad, we had 1/2 cent lollies, that's right kids, 2 for a cent!

yeah mate - more in some cases , milk bottles were 3 or 4 for a cent - a one buck bag of lollies lasted days

I remember when Hungry Jacks/Burger King started up - Whoppers were bloody huge (....takes two hands to handle a whopper , handle a whopper da da da) and costed just under/over a dollar , Yumbo's were 60 cents .... ahhhhh good old days
