It was probably more. The way cpi and inflation are measured were changed in the 80's.

Believable, my husband blew like $300 at the fair back when we were dating, pissed me off, but I got a dragon so...

"Come on Buck, it's just a bear" "Steve, this stopped being about the bear$1.50 ago"
Darjanator
Maybe he actually blew 3 guys also called Buck.

I was talking about a hot redhead pin up 40's gal. But yeah, red skull has a red head too.

What if those blue bags came back and another country mass produced winter soldiers and all the avengers and more heroes came together.

So...one small Popcorn at a movie theater today

Has anyone played carnie games lately? Because that seems accurate.
superanth
That's why 3 bucks was a big deal. It was probably a nickel a try.
SirMalloryofCoventry
Or the carnie screwed him
Tyrannotron
Not being able to realize a rigged carnival game is rigged, means you're bad at carnival games.
RabbitoftheMoon
I love that I'm not the only one who frequently pulls out the inflation calculator for movies/TV
crazycatmister
It was a redhead... A.RED.HEAD.
Combatmatt
Fack. Didn't get that.

"Hail hydra"- red skull

darthvetter13
Red heads are hot.
AdrianAmato
Red Skull has a red head.
IdrisElbow
And yet the redhead still wouldn't blow a buck...

But no because a carnival game doesn't translate through inflation. It's always gonna be like 1 dollar for a game
sonofgeorge
Dude not in the 40s.
Aemor
I'm about 50 years late to know so take that into account
dancinghippos
I love that Marvel accounted for inflation when they wrote this line lol
pmmedemboobies
How did they do that?
superanth
One try was probably a nickel, so 3 bucks was a big deal.
shimmyshimmyquarterturn
Because someone spending $3 today at the fair is not noteworthy. $3 in 1940 though?
nalewhine
Yeah. $3 today might not even hit a turn. Games at Worlds of Fun cost $3 or $5 depending on where in the park you are.
