It's scary how the regular cheese burger was roughly 89 cents in the 80s and I remember paying 89 cents as well in the 90s. Now we can't go a year with same prices 😅
I really liked this one. I love it when they actually have to use logic to come up with their answers, because Rhett always tries his hardest to give a very thoughtful decision, and the Link just kind of wings it.
Can you please do “Trying every Buldak noodle flavor” I feel like that video would go viral since those noodles are so popular right now, thank you love you!!!💕💕⭐️
“Just remember 8.6” 15:33 ends up at 18.6 but he looks like he actually was trying so hard. No but same I completely forgot right when Rhett started calculating😅
There was crazy inflation in the 70s and early 80s, like more than last year for 10 years in a row. If you didn't know that, you wouldn't do well in this game. In fact, the 30-year US treasury bond reached almost 15% interest in 1982, which is crazy, that's 15% annual interest for 30 years completely risk-free.
Sometimes I think about the fast food chains around the studio and if they are used to occasionally getting orders like 50 tacos, or two of every single variety of donut at this point.
The issue with Rhett using the inflation rate not only is the general inflation rate wont necessarily be the same for all products but the fact that the sizes are not necessarily the same as they are currently so the price in the 70s would reflect a larger size
The fact that the original KFC bucket combo came with chicken, rolls, and gravy is wild… no mashed potatoes. Were people just dunking their fried chicken in the gravy or something?
Importantly, when I was 16 in 2003, Kroger receipts had a coupon on the back that offered 2 Big n Tasty burgers for $1. And it was the best summer of my life...

Rhett's calculating montage was fire!
I was thinking this episode would be perfect if it had one of those a few shots before that, then *BAM* it, came to be!
Underrated. I watched it like 3 times lmao
And then Link just goes, eh, I'm taking this many.
Ur fire
Did you get burnt?
Did anyone else find it kind of cute when Rhett deferred completely to Link on his Beatle's knowledge? Like no hesitation just trust.
Link definitely love music more than Rhett does
Link looked so proud 🤣
@@Plaine9 oh for sure, easily, it's just the best friend energy makes my heart happy.
Chase’s little dances at 12:00 are everything.
I came here to see if anyone felt the same lol
Same lol. Them dancing is adorable ☺️
Chase is the cutest member of the mythical crew
Yea lol 😆
I treasure Bailiff Chase!
The fact that the chicken bucket went from 3.75 to 50 bucks is just crazy
I always prefer episodes where Rhett and Link work together instead of against each other 😊

And yet it seems like they're still fighting against each other lol

Feel fuking old to realise the 70s was 50 years ago.
They have a time machine man...tru fax.
100%
@@spunkmire2664 lets not
Love Link saying he's not a math guy and constantly struggling when he was quite literally going to be an engineer
And I think he had better grades than Rhett
if you don't use it, you lose it
He was top in his class.
I knooow, I keep wondering how did he ever graduate lmao
as an engineering student, if you dont keep using the stuff you learn, you'll pretty much lose almost all of it. so, i dont blame him much
Those Beautiful Mind math equations flying at the screen when Rhett was calculating absolutely got me rolling lol
I was genuinely waiting for it on the first calculation montage lol so I’m glad it happened in the second one

Rhett: it's not Burger King 😂
I was looking for someone who commented this

Exactly the same problem with college tuition, well and everything else.
maybe in california. When you account for their increased taxes and rent I would say its right on target. In texas the bucket is $33

I'm teaching division to my class right now. Totally going to use these as some 'real world' problems. Thanks GMM for making my morning!
I absolutely love this new game so much!! I hope they make it a regular game, like will-it and where in the world!
Link having to chant 8.6 over and over is so relatable 😂 I'm useless with numbers.
I love that both Link and Chase did that 😂
I was dying when he told Link to remember it and then realised his mistake and immediately switched to Chase "as he forgets things" 😂
I love watching GMM every morning, it always makes my day a little better.
Alternate titles for this game: (a) How depressing is your age? (b) How depressing is inflation?
Think it's lovely to see Rhett and link just having fun and goofing about to full extent not caring at all 😂😊
Rhett doing math about the burger prices while link sits there and nods his head is hilarious lol
Link would absolutely be me. I can't do mental math, so I just wait until someone else comes up with the answer, lol.
I was around 50 years ago and was like 4 and my Dad worked for Bell. He made 35 dollars a week. Family of 4. Never missed a meal. Wow he really was a great provider!

When the whopper was $1 I used to make $5.5 and hour!
For real
Lol, that blank stare from Link while Rhett was running through the numbers was priceless.
I’m guessing Frosties switched from real ice cream to whatever they use now. Would explain why it was relatively more expensive in the 60s.
As of former employee of Wendy's, I can attest to the fact that Frostys are 100% dairy free.
@@andrewwood4343except for the milk, powdered milk, and whey.
@@darvulya don't believe the lies!
It's ice cream dude.
I guess if I had to describe Link in a few words, I'd go with "the feel guy"
That might be slightly problematic
Nearly a 10X increase in prices. Wages went up maybe 5x. Welcome to America. Ceo / executive pay went up nearly 100x by the way
Another great episode to start my morning but let's be honest here.. those price inflations hurt alot.
I really liked this one. I love it when they actually have to use logic to come up with their answers, because Rhett always tries his hardest to give a very thoughtful decision, and the Link just kind of wings it.
Chases’ dance move once they got the chicken bucket was ✨iconic ✨
Rhett’s deductive reasoning is always impressive to me.
There's a reason for why he usually wins 😅
That's just very simple math 😂

That interpretive dance/how it works section was awesome but, I too, did not remember a single word stevie said lol
The dances at 12:00 made my morning ☀️🕺🏼
My job is to calculate inflation and watching this in the morning just feels like I'm starting work earlier....
*This was a great way to tell us that our bank accounts are screwed*
Rhett's Hangover-esque calculations were top notch.
Im not a regular watcher these days but its always nice to watch gmm when I do watch
they compliment each other so well i loved watching this lol best duo on youtube
Next episode: "How much did Executives make 50 years ago?" lol
This was a fun episode and a fascinating game, hope it comes back in the future
“i’m the feel guy” is my new life quote
Bailiff Chase and the Boyz dancing at 12:00 has made my day. I hope it makes other people's day too. :)
I hope that KFC celebration makes it to top moments of 2023. Gold.
I love their moods recently. Link not caring about much and just being funny, except I got mad when he put 12 frosties on
I just went through a tough break up. Binge watching GMM is helping a lot!
Absolutely love this concept, please bring it back soon!
I was impressed with Link's Beatle's knowledge. That was his moment in the sun
idk why i stopped watching you guys are still very entertaining (& my longest subscription) you even have great merch :) its ok tho now i can binge
This was such a fun game!! Would love to see a part 2

Props to the editor(s) for the visuals during that Wendy's segment!
Link may not be able to do mental math but he can sure rock a pair of bell bottoms.
