Before that, it was a small Southern Calif local joint. Prices didn't change much during this period for hamburger joints. I can tell you definitively that in the mid-1960's everything on the menu was 15cents. Hamburger, fries, drink, etc. were all 15 cents. (Hamburgers were only the small ones then, no big-macs yet). It was a simple marketing scheme. This also made it easy for the cashier. One had to know the 15x math table in ones head to be hired. This was before fancy cash registers, computers, etc. Those were the days when people could actually still add and multiply without a calculator!  RM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted August 10, 2012 Share #43 Â Posted August 10, 2012 In the early 60's I used to get 10 hamburgers for one dollar. Even then I hated all the bread so I would create my own quarter pounder without cheese by piling up the patties to a mouth size bite. This was even before they ever came up with the name Quarter Pounder. Â That was the best part of the after football practice that I can recall.

pico Posted August 10, 2012 Share #44 Â Posted August 10, 2012 So is a high-quality fountain pen, but that does not explain the pricing rationale for a Montblanc Mohandas Gandhi edition for USD 25,000. Â I doubt that pen can draw any better than a good pen. I put designer watches into the same bin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that gasoline was 11 cents per-gallon, and during 'gas wars' hit 9 cents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part I recall after practice was under the bleachers with a cheerleader named Nancy...or maybe it was Noreen. 99% sure it started with an "N". And I wasn't even on the team, just the team photographer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was not an all boys school, but after practice I was hungry for food, girls came after the food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
