One fast food chain might have increased the price of one sandwich, that doesn't mean "the price of everything" has "at least" doubled. The price of everything weighed together has increased 24%. We monitor these things scientifically and consistently across time to get as accurate a number as is possible.

You can't refute that by extrapolating the price of one sandwich from one chain in one cherry picked time frame.

Personally I charge people double for me to give a fuck these days so I'd say there's two sandwiches to worry about.
