Do you think in about ten years an ice cream cone will cost 10 dollars?

More like $20

I was watching a comedy show thats from the 60s or 70s and some of the things that are quite expensive now cost less than 1 penny now.
I asked my mum is it really like that and she said yes.

She told me how her mother had £100 a week ( just under $200 ) in the 60s and with that money she bought all the food for a family of 7, she bought the gas for the car and all sorts

Today £100 wont spread very far at all if your taking care of a smily of 7


So I think easily in 10 years it might be $20 for an ice cream

Jetpack

Its not always about inflation sometimes companies just put up prices Cadbury who is a very famous company that makes chocolate in England.
They have put up their prices and made their chocolate bars smaller.

Lots of stuff prices have gone way up and not inline with inflation or earnings

Again in England lottery tickets have doubled in price but they have also added an extra number in the game so instead of I think 7 numbers matching to get the jackpot you need 8 and the odds are ridiculously low.
People are actually very angry because now people winning the jackpot is rare and its usually roll overs so the money is added to the prize next time.

People buy more tickets because they get more tempted by the size of a rollover jackpot than a regular one, they are paying much more money for their tickets.
Its business tactic by the company that runs the lottery but the losers are the people who play because they are paying more for their ticket and their chances of winning are reduced.

In ten years ice cream will be illegal due to the sugar content being too high for our dear leaders in Wash DC to approve of.

@darksoul I know and that's why I'm just gonna get fruits, freeze them, stick in a Popsicle stick, and say "there's your ice cream"

No telling, I remember when ice cream was sold in half-gallon cartons, now you get 3 pints and it's a lot more expensive.

who fucking cares. fruit will be 20 bucks a bag in 10 years. wake up little girl.

Inflation happens. A weaker currency also.

@hereisme yeah, I wouldn't be surprised....
