Fun Fact: When it was introduced nationally at McDonald's in 1973, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese cost around 65 to 70 cents. The original Quarter Pounder without cheese was slightly less expensive, at approximately 60 cents. It was actually McDonald's way of competing with Burger King's Whopper (you know how they ask Whopper with Cheese or without? Yup yup). This was on a $1.60/hr. wage
Today, that would be $3.17 on $7.25/hr.
Here is a good one for the California folks:
The item was first launched two years earlier in Fremont, California, by a franchise owner named Al Bernardin. In 1971, the regular Quarter Pounder (without cheese) was introduced for 53 cents. This was on a $1.60/hr. wage.
Today, in California, it would be around $5.46 on a wage of $16.50/hr.
