As a child, I was taken care of very well. My parents paid for everything. They paid for clothes, shelter, and most importantly food. As I started becoming more independent, things began to change. I had my own bank account and I had to learn the rules of economics. This all changed when Wendy’s came out with the single item that changed the way I lived: the Double Stack. As a teenager, I began to notice a trend; every time I looked in my wallet, there was no money. I started to trace back the main source that drained all of my money. I found out that of course, it was food. I was spending seven dollars on sandwiches, five dollars on tacos, six dollars on General Tso’s chicken. Although the food was always worth it, it took a toll on my wallet. One cloudy, yet peaceful day I was watching Food Network. Rachael Ray was mixing a gooey, chocolaty, fudge batter. It gave me the idea to make some fudge. I attentively listened to her on the recipe, however right when she was about to give out the secret recipe the worst thing happened. Commercial break. I was full of anger because my mouth was watering just watching the food being made. That is when it happened. It was the commercial right after Head-On one. I stared, with my eyes glowing into the television. Two square beef patties, crispy lettuce, melty American cheese, mouth-watering tomatoes, and little petite pickle slices. Right when I thought it was a new Ruby Tuesday’s burger, the most magical words showed up on the screen. Wendy’s 99 cent double stack. I hopped in the car and sped to Wendy’s and ordered four. Ever since Wendy’s doublestack came out, I could eat delicious juicy burgers for 99 cents. Although it probably contributed to lack of health and motivation to exercise, I soon began to realize my wallet had money in it. If I was hungry, I would buy four double cheeseburgers for four dollars. That day was a moment in history for my life. I had an epiphany with economics. It was the day that I finally learned the value of a dollar, two delicious, juicy, beef patties smothered between two squished buns.
