It should surprise nobody that Randall Munroe has addressed the "plastic dinosaur" question in one of his books. TL;DR: unlikely but there's no way to be certain.

I don't know where you were shopping in1998, 'cause that looks like a $200 load of groceries to me by the standard of when I was making that kind of grocery run twice a month around that time. Similarly, I don't think I've seen any single pack of cookies for more than $9.99 in the current year, usually a dollar or two less than that, and that's with now being within Boston commuter distance instead of a little boonies town where the biggest nearby "city" was maybe 125k if you also include pets in '98.

And fell asleep in the cahir whle looking for an actual image to include, so instead I'm just posting this and going back to bed.

Yeah, I was thinking much the same thing -- while the general concept is more or less accurate the illustration is exaggerated. The 1998 cart looks like about $100 worth of shopping for Peg and me at the time. It might have been $20 in 1965, but not 1998, and I wouldn't swear to that.

As for "2023", yeah, $20 won't fill a cart, but it won't be empty, either. I can think of four or five of our favorite dinners off the top of my head that I can get all the ingredients for for approximately $20. Without needing tiny portions or oddball ingredients like bulk-bought bulgar wheat.

Meh, I tend to collect pics because they amuse me, not because they are necessarily accurate truth.

I can think of quite a few items that you can get for $20, myself, from meal components to frozen dinners, not to mention lots of that classic college student staple, ramen. I'd say a $20 cart today should look somewhere between the 2005 and 2014 ones shown, depending on the items selected. (side note, I work at a grocery store...
