   I decided to do the math on this
   Specifically, I looked at these three combos:
   >A - 3 soft tacos $3.59
   >B - 1 quesadilla + 1 taco $3.99
   >C - 1 nacho bellgrande + 1 taco $4.19
   
   According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, $1 in 2005 should have the same buying power as $1.61 today
   In other words the government claims there's been a 60.87% cumulative inflation rate since 2005
   If this were true (spoiler: it's not) then the prices would be as follows:
   >A: $5.78
   >B: $6.42
   >C: $6.75
   
   The real prices today and true cumulative inflation are as follows:
   >A: $7.69 (77.71%)
   >B: $8.99 (83.03%)
   >C: $9.59 (84.57%)
   Average cumulative inflation 81.77%
   That's basically 20.90% higher than the govt claims (because they're jewish liars)
   
   ALSO: Something not considered is that the combo prices I listed include a large drink
   Taco Bell has been a big proponent of shrinkflation
   For example: The large drinks in 2005 were about 42oz
   Sometime between 2005 and 2014 they shrank the large cups to 32oz and replaced the old large drinks with an "XL" size (eventually they got rid of this size entirely)
   Just last month they shrank the sizes again by the way, but I haven't been to Taco Bell to see just how small they are now. My guess is that the 32oz is now 30, the 20 looks like it's now 18 (pictured old med cup next to the aug 2024 med cup) etc
   And the food shrinkflation is really difficult to properly measure
