And I think he said that was in Boston?
3 people, $10. Now it’s 1 person $30.
That’s like a 600% increase. FJB.

He indicated Fani was a little girl at the time. She's 53 now. So I figure the reference must be to the late 70's?
Here are McDonald's prices from 1979:

So, in a world where you could buy 3 Quarterpounder/Fries/Coke meals for a total of ~$4.50, the $9.95 story would seem plausible.
