When I was a teenager, I was in a boarding school (1975 or so).

When we went on trips, we’d get $2 for lunch.

At McDonald’s, I could get 6 cheeseburgers and a Coke for that (I was a teen. I had no problem, eating them all).

That's like >$10 in today's money. Significantly more than I would give kids for lunch today

5 EUR (about $1 in 1975) is about the cost of a Döner Kebab which is more than enough for a teenager

Probably depends on the city, but where I'm from it's difficult (but probably not completely impossible) to get a Döner for 5€ :(

> more than enough for a teenager

You watched any teenage boys eating, recently?

I assume a doner is about the same as a gyro sandwich, around here (usually $7-$10).

A good teenager can shovel down two of them, easy.
