Peaches went from 79 cents to $1.29 each, so you could have certain varieties.

Even some McDonald's franchises in Manhattan don't participate in the "Dollar Menu" promotion, but then again, is it really food?    :afr:

A cup of coffee, no matter how small, is a rare find for a dollar.  Maybe at a sidewalk food cart, where you could also get an apple or banana – but probably not both, unless it was midnight and you got a "deal."

It's a pretty small list!

That would buy you little or nothing in a café or from a street food stall. But a quick look on a leading grocery store website shows:

6 pack of tomatoes - grown under glass and tasteless
1kg of bananas
800g store brand white sliced bread
6-pack of Kingsmill crumpets
Litre of store brand orange juice (with or without 'bits'!)
1kg of white English sugar (made from East Anglian beets)
454g pot of store brand jam or marmalade

I want a McDonalds slushie.  We don't have those in the US.

McDonalds in Australia do not call them slushies - although they are identical to what a slushie is 🙂

They look different, they are served in clear plastic large cups with domes, and are called "Frozen Coke" and there is like 3 flavours - you can get Frozen Spiders too which is the sundae whip on top

https://mcdonalds.com.au/menu/frozen-coke

There is a price war amongst the fast food restaurants - and i think it is down to $1.00… its basically flavoured ice, like a slushie

The Php SRP of that grams is Php 140.00 or if you converted it into dollar, roughly $ 2.97**_
