$6 for a hot dog? That’s how much Americans now expect to pay. (www.marketwatch.com)

Lol. I've seen hot dogs sell here for US$13 (after conversion). The US doesn't understand how cheap their food is, even with inflation. The minimum wage for adults is USD$15.40 though (again converted) and we don't have "but it's OK they get tips so we don't have to pay them more than $2" shenanigans.

Fuck that paywall, but again the problem is largely how underpaid and exploited people are, not how much hot dogs have increased in price.
