Abandoned McDonald's menu from 1994 has people in shock at the price differences
Footage of a McDonald's abandoned since the 90s has left people gobsmacked about the price differences. YouTuber and photographer Chris Luckhardt's footage has certainly got people asking: "Did McNuggets really used to cost that much?"
Take a look below:
In an era of ever-rising costs and inflation, reminiscing about the good old days often involves reflecting on the prices of our favourite foods.

A man recently sent the internet into a tailspin after finding a Tesco's receipt from 1994, and now Luckhardt has found the pricelist from a derelict Maccies in Alaska that has had jaws on the floor.
Those who have frequented Maccies over the years might recall a time when a trip to the golden arches was a more budget-friendly affair.
Cast your mind back to the 1980s and 1990s, and you might find yourself reminiscing about a time when a simple cheeseburger could be had for mere cents.
Luckhardt (Insta - @chrisluckhardt) journeyed to Adak Island, Alaska - which is about 274.59 square miles, but has a population of just 150.
It was once uninhabited, but served as a US naval base during World War 2 and the Cold War.
The Maccies is pretty much unchanged since 1994, to the extent that it's still advertising dino-size fries, presumably as a tie-in to the original Jurassic Park movie.
According to its pricelist, in 1994 a Big Mac meal would have set you back $4.59 (£3.60), six Chicken Nuggets have been marked as $2.35 (£1.85), and a kids hamburger Happy Meal would have cost $3.36 (£2.65).
Nowadays, a Big Mac sets you back $8.39 (£6.62), six chicken nuggets would cost you $4.79 (£3.78), and a Happy Meal costs $5.99 (£4.72).
Bet you're missing the 90s now, right?
Kids who ordered a Happy Meal would be treated to a toy tie-in from Bobby's World, an animated series which aired from 1990 to 1998 on Fox Kids and followed the overactive imagination of a five-year-old.
If you went for breakfast, in the 90s an egg McMuffin would have cost $1.95 (£1.54), while nowadays it costs $3.99 (£3.15).
Reacting to the clip after it was shared on TikTok, one user said: "I miss those prices, McDonald’s has jokes with what they charge for meals now."
Another commented: "Hey, does anyone remember they had like 39 cent cheeseburger days every now and then."
And one dramatically put: "Two happy meals now adds up to almost $18."
