7/10. Said that I wasn't concentrating about the costs back then. How could I? I wasn't born in 1972. I was born 1975.
You got 7 out of 10 correct.
Not bad, but not perfect. You probably didn't focus on the cost back then because your parents were paying for it. All you had to do was enjoy the mouth-watering flavors.
McDonalds was date night twice a month in 72 and stationed at Ft Bragg. I always got the filet o fish, fries and a drink....those are the ones I got right (along with a few others)....the ones I missed were items I never got so I just guessed (actually I guessed on most of them lol)

I wasn't born until '77 so I wouldn't have known about these prices. 4/10.

4/10 The only one I had more than a pure guess at was the cheeseburger. There was a Burger Chef within walking distance and I bought my fair share of cheeseburgers from them.
I do want to try a triple ripple cone!

The 70's were wonderful in many ways, great music, cheap gas, inexpensive fast food..even great TV at times.....it's fun to look back.....
Born in 1972. Only got 4 outta 10. Oh well. I'm lovin' it!
8 out 10
Something else to add - thanks to upsizing, a large Coke back in '72 would be today's medium Coke.
4/10 - was only two years old in '72 so I wouldn't have eaten there then.
4/10. I was not alive in 72 🤷♂️
10/10
I got five out of 10..
I was a kid. I wasn't paying attention to the cost of things. And it showed on this quiz: 2 out of 10!
Isn't it more like you weren't paying? If I had to pay as a kid, I'd be more attentive.
Though, of the things I bought as a kid, I onky remember prices in a vague way. Candy and comic books, I don't even remember buying my own potato chips. How & Why Wonder Books, and Tom Swift Books.

5/10 All guesses. I don't think there was one anywhere near me in 1972.
10/10. Frisch's, Burger Chef and A&W were better.
4 out of 10. All guesses; I was 2 in 1972.
As a teenager, I used to work at a family owned business called Wright's Dairy-Rite. I was a car hop and it was the most fun working there. Served all the usual ice cream favorites as well as burgers, dogs, fries, onion rings, etc.... Home of the Super Burger and "Broasted" Chicken! 🤤 Still in business after 70 years! Hey Mr. Cash!! 😊
Missed the coffee, cheeseburger and ice cream cone. Pretty good. All guesses. I was 7. Back then, my hamburgers had to be plain. I have certainly changed my tune now! 😊
never ate there back then A+W was the place to eat with service to the car
