>>11555559explain then:
Lego sets from decades ago cost about 10 cents per piece. roughly 500 pieces = $50
that's still true today. Lego uses smaller pieces to "inflate" the piece count, is THAT the inflation?
as recent as 7 years ago, I could get a Whopper Combo at Burger King for $5 on Whopper Wednesday. a Whopper Combo at Burger King today costs like $13
that sounds a lot more complicated then just looking at one average number and applying that to "everything"
