Fast food was once the cheapest, quickest option for working people on the go. But in 2025? It’s starting to feel like luxury dining with drive-thru windows.
From $18 combo meals to $6 fries, Americans are shocked at how expensive fast food has become. In this video, we highlight viral TikToks, real receipts, and reactions from people realizing that even grabbing a burger now feels like splurging.

Eating at home food at fast food is complete garbage it has changed , restaurants food has went down hill dramatically and more than its worth
Fast food is supposed to be cheap like 8 $ not 15/20
I stopped eating fast food and restaurants in 2012. It's all poison.
8:37 An example of a fast food consumer. Big corporate has compromised quality for profit. Just fix you own food. Way better.
Time to go on the Green Eggs and Ham diet 😎
They getting away with it during the virus so they carry it on and blame inflation, it’s got nothing to do inflation and everything to do with greed of the shareholders…..they playing you, don’t buy, don’t visit and then they have no choice but to put the correct price…..it’s pure greed……
Incompetent Democrat Joe Biden’s record inflation caused this. President Trump has a huge democrats party made disaster to fix.
I stop going to fast food. I only eat at local places like Jamaican food or Chinese food
Well, the govt is not helping us on food prices but at least we had a huge amount of our tax money spent on soldiers marching in DC. Eat that!
sneaky add at 13:17, you should had cut that part of the video
In case anyone doesn't know, those prices have been standard for fast food in Europe for 20 years.
Imagine finding out we were paying too much.
welcome to tariffs land
3.50$ for a medium fry. I’d rather just get a big bag of potato chips.
Learn to cook and eat at home! Better and healthier.you kno what's in it!🍅🌶️🍉🍈🥔🍞🧀🍗🦞🍦🍷🥞🌮🥗🍛yum!😊😊
We're having thin sliced roast beef sandwiches tonight on good deli bread with cream cheese and fresh cracked black pepper and Romaine lettuce and deli mustard. Made at home and so much better and cheaper than fast food. Tomorrow I'm going to make a large pepperoni / mushroom / black olive large pizza and it's going to cost me about 5 bucks. Have it your way at home. This coming Sunday we're having flame broiled, red wine marinated Rib-Eye steaks with grilled veggies on a bed of rice and it's going to cost next to nothing compared to having steak out in a restaurant. Make it yourself and eat like rich people do.
You know its bad i went with my girlfriend to culvers we had 2 custards with 1 scoop and two toppings and a pork loin sand which meal and 6 shrimp meal and it was like 40.00 dollars i had. Coupon thank god so one meal was free. And my cash app card told me i can afterpay my culvers purchase…..i was like wtf
basically saving half in size within 8 years
not worth the price from 10 years ago
Tired of yall complaining either eat it or don’t
14:20 you lose any credibility when you start speaking about the idea of a 1000 year old man from an archaic book actually existed.
We walked into a McDonald’s, we ordered two meals and they wanted to charge us +$30! Uh nope. We just left.
Finally people using social media to save their pockets it's about time getting value for your money. 🤔😂😂😂
Better learn to cook. 🤫🤔😂😂😂
It's almost like raising the minimum wage to $15/hour is increasing the cost of fast food. Crazy world!
I buy my son food out. I eat pb n j
Cant afford it
Shop at aldis. It's cheaper.
Money is tight so lets splurge. Typical people that complain the loudest when theyre shitty with their finances. I get it, fast food is expensive then stop eating it.
video is way to long. you want to get the channel to grow keep it 11 min max
Culver’s is the best value right now, imo.
All these fast food chains have decided they are going to completely fleece their customer base to try and force them to the app, where they will have better deals as long as they can harvest your data.
We decided reduce our fast food budget by hiring a private chef.
8:04 why upload this sound is all wack
9:09 that’s the dumbest stuff to put in the video lol😂
Taco Bell was always a guilty pleasure per paycheck. Not any more. $30 for 3 people when it used to be under $20.
AND LET'S NOT FORGET "WOULD YOU LIKE TO ROUND UP?". 🤬🤷💰
