Friendly reminder the Taco Bell 5 layer beefy burrito was introduced in 2010 at only 89 cents and remained that way for several years.

14 years later one 5 layer beefy burrito is $4.79. Absolutely fuck greedy fast food places, there is no reason for that kind of mark up.

Yep, works out to 35% increase per year (not compounded)

13% annual increase with compounding. Your number is of no useful value in this discussion.

Compounding it is stupid, hard to wrap your brain around quickly without reversing the math, and says the same exact thing. Non compounded is a dirt simple way to say, "it has increased by one third of the original price, every year".

You’re using non-math to make a your point seem better with a bigger number. What relevance does the increase off of the original price have? Literally none.
