The Cruzeiro was in the middle of a collapse and they were changing currencies to the Cruzado, doing a reverse of 1000 old cruzeiros for 1 cruzado.

Large bottle of beer on beach about .40, 5 shrimp on a stick about $1.50 and a giant dinner for 4 at a restaurant on Copacabana Beach boulevard of steak, veal, appetizers, sides, beers, drinks, wine and dessert came to $40 with tip.

It eas crazy even back then.

$40? And look at you now. Scho moving up in the world with $100 lunches.
