TL;DR - Money
that's the part I fall under
Come on. They can just admit they want the toy.
Who the fuck is still eating at McDonald's? I mean, obviously a lot of people, but why? It's not good and it's not cheap. Maybe food deserts? I can get a better burger and fries and drink from a local place cheaper and faster (if I still bought meat, anyway)
There was a leak of all of the original McDonalds recipies a while ago called the McMenu.
They use a process in their burgers calling "Q"ing, where they let everything in the burger get to the same tempurature.
You know what I look for in a burger? Warm lettuce and a lukewarm patty.
I've been wondering this for most of my life. That shit is barely even food.
Around half of US adults apparently 🤢
Sometimes it was definitly the best deal. But other times my partner and I started ordering 2 happy meals each so outrlittle one could get more toys.
I'm pretty sure you can just buy the toys
You can, but it's priced so you just want to buy the happy meal anyway... I got an extra during the mini McDonald's they had recently and it was 4 maybe 3 bucks for just the toy
Have you seen the prices on adult meals?
Even grimace there is like "wtf is this shit?!"
Does this turn into what's your local price... or maybe ai pricing now a days...
Maybe a difference between the McDonalds app and GrubHub?
Shitty tactics all around for delivery apps... let's charge more plus add-on fees after fees...
And base the tip on fees...
For us it’s the amount of food. It’s less and I don’t need a Big Mac or even a full sized hamburger.
I get kids meals sometimes because the combo meals are too much food
Sometimes I order an appetizer and/or straight sides at a restaurant too lol. Not at a fancy one of course
Mcdouble meal is the best deal on the menu.
