Then they should charge 15 cents for the frank and $4 for the experience.

Back in the day (1950s) the hot dog tended to match the subway fare. Back then they were both 15c. A bag of fries was 5 cents and a cone was 10 cents; that soon increased to 10 and 15 respectively.

And I can hear you saying "yeah, yeah, old man, that's 1950s money."

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 1958 15 cents would now be $1.22. A far cry from more than $4.
