One might argue that they are using worse ingredients.
Or it may be oart of the karketing - they catch you on cheap hot dog and sell you “inflation adjusted” rest.
far worse ingredients. in 1985 it was actual meat, not mechanically separated pink foam. pepperige farms remembers what frankfurters were in the mid 80s. ate them boiled fairly regularly.
Few understand.
