The Taco Bell® Beefy Five-Layer Burrito™ was first offered in 2009 at a price of $0.89. That same year, US federal rules for minimum wage was raised to $7.25/hour. At that time, this burrito cost 7 minutes and 20 seconds.
Today, that same burrito costs $3.56, and minimum wage has not changed. That burrito now costs 30 minutes 30 seconds. An hour of labour used to feed three or four people, now it feeds one.
