Five Dollar Shake

Pulp Fiction was on AMC tonight and, for a lack of anything else to watch, I tuned in. Not that I don't love the movie. I do. I just tend to shy away from watching movies on television that I own on DVD. I turned it on in time to see the famous date between Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega at Jack Rabbit Slims:

BUDDY
How 'bout you, Peggy Sue?

MIA
I'll have the Durwood Kirby burger
-- bloody -- and a five-dollar
shake.

BUDDY
How d'ya want that shake, Martin
and Lewis, or Amos and Andy?

MIA
Martin and Lewis.

VINCENT
Did you just order a five-dollar
shake?

MIA
Sure did.

VINCENT
A shake? Milk and ice cream?

MIA
Uh-huh.

VINCENT
It costs five dollars?

BUDDY
Yep.

VINCENT
You don't put bourbon in it or
anything?

BUDDY
Nope.

VINCENT
Just checking.

This movie was released in 1994. Today in 2010, if you walked into a TGI Fridays and ordered a shake, that sucker wouldn't cost less than seven bucks. Probably more if you wanted their specialty flavors.

I wonder how much this shit costs:
