Inflation

In the wonderful film "Pulp Fiction" presumably set in 1993 or thereabouts, Vincent Vega, ably played by John Travolta, questions the waiter about the milkshake he deems to be overpriced.
Milk and ice cream? You don't put bourbon in it or anything?

Mrs. Poop and I went to Red Robin (Chase sleeps like a rock in that place for some reason and Mrs. Poop loves the Santa Fe burger) and Mrs. Poop ordered a milkshake. When I got the bill I saw that the milkshake cost $4.79. I assume it was just milk and ice cream, no bourbon, yet we weren't even outraged by its price.
