What will happen to the $.99 menus in ten years?

I think McDonalds made up the word parfait, and through their sheer marketing power, brought it into common knowledge. THey even paid off the people at dictionary.com... http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=parfait

I swear that word didn't exist 5 years ago.

How come video games have went down in price? I mean, games for the nintendo and super nintendo were sometimes over $50, now alot of new games come out at the $39.99 price.

I have a couple of McD's around me and they sell different $1 items / sizes. For fries, one sells the paper-bag small size and the other has the standard red-carton small size. The McChicken (damn that's great for $1) is a $1.39 at the other one... it's like a trade-off and I can't decide which to give up half the time...

And BTW... LOL @ the NYC $1 menu... err.. I mean $1.39 menu. They charge almost $6 for a Big Mac meal, don't they ?

Wendy's:
(2) Junior Cheeseburger Deluxes
(1) 5-piece Chicken Nuggets
(1) Water

That's a decent meal there too... and you can add on a Frosty and it'll still be under $5.

Its actually funny. We had a Wendy's that made the 99 cent menu, 1.09. But that lasted less than a month.
I think people actually started to complain to Wendy's Corporate. Because less than a month after it was 1.09 it
was back to 99 cents. Kind of hard to have a 99 cent menu thats actually 1.09. But I do notice that menu
is smaller.

Sorry, it existed. I remember growing up there was a PeeWee Herman show based entirely around the parfait... And that was not just 5 years ago.
