    Those numbers aren’t really exaggerated. I’ve seen 5 dollar tacos at Taco Bell, albeit it’s was the Doritos taco supreme. Same with Subway, get premium toppings in foot long you could approach $20, definitely hit that price with large sandwiches at more premium establishments.

    On the latte front, the Starbucks CEO legit said a $9 dollar coffee is “affordable”.

      Affordable premium experience. That’s CEO for we dropped poor people. So no, that’s not what he said, at all. You should really be more precise and careful how you read. The 20oz lattes are $5.50 until you start adding 40 pumps.

      Oh right, you can find their biggest meals or a 20 oz triple pumped “latte” and add shit to create edge cases. The Internet warrior mo.

      A basic taco is $2.50 . $1.75 if you get one without a protein.
