Story from Jam Press (Retro BK Receipt) Pictured: (Close up) A Burger King receipt from 1986. Woman stunned after discovering retro Burger King receipt from the 80s...and prices have tripled A woman was left stunned after discovering a retro Burger King receipt from the 1980s. The faded paper from the fast food giant’s till dates back to August 10, 1986. At the time, she spent less than $8.39 to feed a family of three at the time. The receipt shows how she purchased three Whopper burgers for $4.62. This works out to just $1.54 each She also purchased two portions of fries for $1.58. This works out to be just $0.79 per portion. For drinks, the customer bought two large vanilla milkshakes for $1.78. This means she spent just $0.89 per large beverage. The seven-item order set her back just $8.39 – including tax. She paid with a $20 bill and was given $11.61 in change. A single Whopper burger currently costs $4.19 in today's money — over three times the price. A woman, named Liza, shared the receipt. She said her mum found it in the garage. She said: “My mom is remodelling her house, and found this in a box in the garage. “A receipt from Burger King dated 10/08/1986. ”I wasn’t even born yet. “I am amazed at the price of things.” She added: “When a family of 3 could eat fast food for less than $9.” Fast-food fans were left in shock by the cheap prices. One person, called Jaina, said: “Oh it's $23 for 2 whopper meals.” Another, called Courtney, said: “This is making me emotional.” ”Now my son and I will spend at least $20 on just fast food for one night,” said Ashleigh. Christine said: “I’m weeping.” ENDS
