Throwback Thursday: A Large Pizza, a Two-Litre Coke, Twelve Dollars. In 1995

Throwback Thursday: A Large Pizza, a Two-Litre Coke, Twelve Dollars. In 1995

It's Throwback Thursday and the inflation conversation gets personal fast: in 1995, a large pepperoni pizza and a two-litre Coke ran twelve to fifteen dollars as a combo deal. Ground beef was $1.99 a pound. A big box of cereal was three dollars. Gas was fifty-eight cents a litre in Vancouver.

Shane and Ryan run those numbers against today's receipts, take listener texts on the definitive best pizza topping, and work through what the stuffed crust revolution of 1995 has become thirty years on, including hot dog crust, cheeseburger crust, and the case for just putting mozzarella in there and leaving it alone. The Quebec referendum of 1995 also comes up, with a clip of three American presidents discussing Canadian unity in a tone that feels like a different era entirely.

Topics: 1995 grocery prices Canada, pizza prices inflation, stuffed crust pizza history, throwback Thursday, Quebec referendum 1995
