When I was a kid movies were dirt cheap and so were the snacks. Just about every kid in town was at the theater on Saturdays. Even the poor kids. Of course our coins were silver. A dime for popcorn would be worth about a dollar now.

yeah true inflation has been insane not just this year but the last like 15 years. I guess movie tickets aren't essential so it doesn't matter that much, just a shame.
