Totally right there with you. My wife and i did a trip in 2018 to west coast usa, and we stayed in airbnb the whole time. Collections of tiny homes and garages and it was amazing. Each place was like $45 a night and perfect for what we were doing.

We havent used an airbnb in years now. Hotels give you so much more for your money now

Per googles inflation calculator, $5 in '86 is about $15 today. The original ad says retail price is almost $10, or per the same calc about $30 today.

$20 without cookies feels right on inflation. This aint the inflation battle to fight
