When McDonald's first opened in 1940, the cost of popular items was very different from today

This original menu for "The Drive In With the Arches" shows the chain's original prices

A "Pure Beef Hamburger" cost only 15 cents! Cheeseburgers were 19 cents

French fries were 10 cents. A milkshake was 20 cents.
