What inflation metric do you use?
It makes a massive difference.
The equivalent of $100 from 1994 is:
CPI: $207
% of M2: $623
I define inflation as printing money.
M2 isn't perfect, but it shows that we've had much more value stolen from our money than most think.
I use the price of bottled single serving soda.

how do you factor in the soda quality decrease?
This is a good point. Overall the past two years aspartame has been substituted for sucralose in everything. Red bull was the last hold out. I'm sure it's killing me faster now
