Shakedown

 


So a Swedish TV network just showed "Pulp Fiction". I asked the AI a funny question about it... 

In Pulp Fiction, a milkshake costs five dollars and is considered too expensive. What is the current price of a milkshake in the United States?

As of 2025, milkshake prices in the United States vary depending on the establishment and the type of milkshake:

  • Fast-Food Chains: At McDonald's, a small milkshake is priced at $3.99, with medium and large sizes at $4.69 and $4.89, respectively. Chick-fil-A offers milkshakes ranging from $4.85 to $5.25, depending on the flavor. Hack The Menuhttps://chick-fil-a-menus.com/

  • Specialty or Gourmet Milkshakes: At venues like baseball stadiums, prices can be higher. For instance, the Chicago White Sox's "Campfire Milkshake" is priced at $15. Eater Chicago

Reflecting on the $5 milkshake in Pulp Fiction (1994), which was considered expensive at the time, it's interesting to note that today, such a price is standard at many fast-food establishments. This change underscores how inflation and evolving consumer expectations have influenced pricing over the past three decades.
