    Same. My mom only took us out to eat fast food either when she was super stretched for time or when she got a little extra money. This was in the ‘80s.

      That’s my experience. Then it got cheap for some years and then expensive again.

      Yep, same. Both my parents worked and worked weird hours, however, my mother had frugality imprinted on her (and knew that fast food was mostly just hot garbage when it comes to health and nutrition - it seems it has not gotten any better, by the way.) so fast food was a once-in-great-big-while thing. Soda was almost a never kind of thing.
