erm, inflation? duh
korang kena paham, when we say "average inflation is ~4%", three very important things:

1) 4% is the inflation of a selected basket of goods by MOF; doesn't at all apply to all items. Mcd Sundae is not on the list.

2) 4% is the average of the selected basket of goods. so if say kangkung no change but timun up 10%, average the two it becomes 5%. this basket of goods includes things like housing, petrol, cars, consumer electronics like washing machine and laptop. so huge noticeable increases in 1 sector can be balanced out by 0 movement or even deflation in another sector. consider thumbdrives: 256mb used ot be RM200 or more when it first came out, remember? now 32GB is what, Rm50? this huge drop in price, believe me, is averaged out by increases elsewhere.

3a) last but not least, which average figure is being used? average of the past 3 months, 1 year, 20 years annualised? 4% per annum inflation over 20 years means at the end of 20 years a Rm1 Sundae Cone is now Rm2.19. 3b) furthermore, as you may have noticed, the price doesn't tambah 5 sen every year on year. Rather, it remains steady for a few years then price is increased in 1 big step, usually in response to economic contractions or recessions.

this is how the economy truly works. not whatever cock made up conspiracy story most people believe. fairly basic knowledge but nobody cares...

as this guy says, Sundae Cone is Rm1 since year 2000

at a rate of 4% pa, 2 years ago (2020) it should have hit Rm2.19, theoretically

arguably Mcd is giving us a discounted product, compared to general inflation. fact is that Sundae Cone is actually a loss leader.

get your head checked

Even if it did happen, you make it sound like Mcd does it all the time. Often happened kah, bengap?

Lagi worse exaggeration
Not factually true that Mcd increases 3-4 times a year let alone does it in more than 1 year

You're just operating on gut feel

"few times a year" and "few times this year" learn the difference, budak

Ya kah? Tiap tiap tahun ke? Sejak bila? Ni fakta ke, kau fuckta he?

Okay
So tell me for any item what the 3 prices were in 2019
And what were the 3 prices in 2020
And 2021
And 2022
Total 12 times price increase
For any item

Go on

hey dipshit, if increase twice that means 1 year must have 3 prices right?
anyway, 2 or 3, whatever, up to you
come give me the numbers
every year sure got right, pandai?

I accept your surrender.
