15-Year-Old Restaurant Bill Goes Viral: Throwing Party In 2007 Was Pocket Friendly?

A recent Reddit post featuring a restaurant bill from 2007 has ignited conversations about the increasing prices of food and drinks over the years. The bill, from a restaurant named “The Supper Factory,” showcased a variety of dishes priced as low as INR 180, totaling just INR 2,522 for ten items.

The caption accompanying the photo stated, “Found 2 bills from 2007 bar visits in Delhi. Man, I can’t believe prices of food and alcohol have jumped up so much since then.” However, not everyone shared this nostalgic sentiment.

Social Media Argues

Many users responded skeptically, arguing that even in 2007, INR 2,500 was not particularly affordable. One user commented, “18 saal pehle 2500 were not that much pocket friendly bhai” (2,500 wasn’t that affordable even 18 years ago, man). Another added, “18 saal…, 2007 feels like 7-8 saal to me” (18 years… wow, 2007 feels like just 7-8 years ago to me).

Another user quipped, “Bro, it’s like saying 7k is pocket friendly in today’s time.” This sentiment reflected doubts about the affordability of dining out nearly two decades prior. One user also praised the original poster for maintaining the bills, saying, “Can we all just for a moment appreciate OP for his extreme care of bills. It’s 17 years, brother!!!!! Moreover, how the hell is that ink still so much intact??? What kinda sorcery is this??”

In the midst of the light-hearted exchanges, one user provided insight into inflation, noting, “Considering inflation, this is around Rs. 7,850 in 2024, so I do understand OP’s point.”
