Man back when Little Debbie snacks cost 25 cents I felt like Elon Musk walking into the gas station with a dollar.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I could buy a quarter drink, a snack cake, a bag of chips, and possibly a 25-cent Slim Jim. All for a dollar.

These days, it's cheaper to buy a fountain drink at a gas station than it is to buy a bottle of any type of soda.

I cannot believe they went through this entire list without that clip from RoboCop where the guy says, “I’ll buy that for a dollar!” Lol

[natsune]

I remember seeing the expensive gas hitting a dollar for the first time and thinking, "Who is stupid enough to pay a dollar a gallon?" Whom indeed younger me, whom indeed.

[RiVer-Parish]

Man, I miss the 90s and my N64. It was a great time that will never come back.😢

[thealextrifier]

If we’re not gonna raise the minimum wage anytime soon we should absolutely make these items $1 again

[trinaq]

Despite being too young to properly remember the 90's, I still hold fond memories of them.

[jaystitzie]

I’m 30 and I can recall when a McDouble was a dollar, and when I could get a McDouble and McChicken and a Large Tea for 3.18 in PA. It wasn’t really all that long ago. The huge surge in prices are pretty recent.

[Thrillseeker]

This is just one more reason why the 90's were the best time in the whole of history. Everything was cheaper back then.

[BigFella]

Hearing how much stuff you could get for a dollar back then makes me wish I was born in the 90s

[rahminh]

I remember in 1998 I got gas at the cheapest price that I can remember was 69 cents a gallon.

[TSierra]

Even though I wasn’t born in the 90’s, after watching this video I wish I grew up in the 90’s lol

[Jennifer-jtcb]

When I was 16 I remember gas bottoming out at 71¢. I wish it would do that again because $3.59 is extortionate bullshit. I can barely afford just getting _to_ the ga station. You damn near need a big mortgage on your house to drive 3 blocks away. This shit is just simply crazy.

We may all end up driving electric cars, but I'm not giving up my dream car. I dreamed about owning one for 35 years and finally got one.
A 1987 Chevy Camaro Iroc-Z with T tops.

Another reason why the 90's was the #1 decade of most things

[PerfectlyImperfect]

I remember when I was kid I would get a can of soda, 2 slim Jim’s, a Debbie cake and a little bag of chips for $2 😂

[stanford-nfjk]

I remember the Mexican popsicle vendors that would push their little carts and ring the bell would let me have two Tamarind ice pops for a dollar, even though they cost 65 cents each. (One for me and one for my little brother). Good times!

[mojo]

I had no idea there were things you could be for a dollar in the 90s. That was great! I don't like how things cost a little more, today. Apples🍎🍏 and eggs🥚🍳 are good for you so buying a lot of them would surely keep you healthy. Speaking of eggs, four dozen a morning is a lot!
By the way, this video helped me compare one more thing about the animated and live action Beauty and the Beast. Also, I was born in 1999.

Buying a new vinyl record for $1, I could get new vinyl that were on sale from Tower Records for just $1, now most vinyl records cost upwards of $30! Thank a lot hipsters for causing prices for vinyl records to skyrocket!
