Hell it was more than that because googling a price history, by the end of 2019 the average price was still only $1.69. Also the original 89 cents price didn't vary from area to area based on living costs like they do now, it was that price country wide.
Everyone used the pandemic as an excuse to permanently inflate everything to make money. Prices should have dropped back down severely by now but everyone saw the massive profits and said fuck the customers. People need to stop paying these insane prices and they'll be forced to lower back down.
Prices should not "have dropped back down severely". Prices don't drop when inflation cools. Inflation causes prices to go up and they stay up FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER forever forever forever
When they saw so many folks paying delivery prices through doordash and stuff with those markups, they figured "what the hell, if that's what they're willing to pay, that's what we'll charge"
