You know what a banana split'll run you now!
 
I'll have a vanilla milk shake, please. Actually, at 25 cents, make it a double!

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the buying power of 25 cents in 1957 was the equivalent to $1.91 in 2009. And yet the diner next door to my office sells milkshakes at $4.95. Hmmmmm.
