Mark Tilbury reorders McDonald's from a 1990 receipt
Two Big Macs, fries, Cokes and apple pies turn a fast-food stop into a price comparison across decades.

1990 VS 2026 McDonald’s Prices
The bill more than quadrupled. Mark Tilbury's most-watched upload of the week starts with an old McDonald's receipt and ends with a fresh one: $8.07 then, $34.68 today.
In "1990 VS 2026 McDonald's Prices", he displays a receipt dated June 15, 1990, then orders the same food without looking at the payment total. Outside with the loaded tray, he wonders how he managed to eat that much as a child. The comparison is between those two bills, rather than an inflation-adjusted calculation.
The Short has reached nearly six million views. But the food bill isn't the only detail occupying viewers: several are more interested in the survival of the old receipt, right down to its surprisingly legible ink. Others compare meal deals they remember or discuss how ordering bundles might change the total.
His other upload takes a much longer view of money. "You Have 5 Years to Get Rich Before AI Takes Over" presents Tilbury's belief that AI could transform earning, investing and business within that window. He describes it as an unplanned, stripped-back response to a conversation that morning, rather than his usual polished production. It has passed a million views.
Across the channel, subscribers grew over the week, although daily viewing is currently below its usual pace. Among nearby business channels, Max Klymenko and Caleb Hammer both gathered substantially more views over the seven days. Tilbury's McDonald's stop is his most active upload now, with "BANK REFUSES TO GIVE MILLIONAIRE HIS MONEY" and "WHAT REAL MILLIONAIRES BUY" also continuing to draw viewers.
