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.

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.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure you can just buy the toys

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Even grimace there is like "wtf is this shit?!"

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Does this turn into what's your local price... or maybe ai pricing now a days...

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe a difference between the McDonalds app and GrubHub?

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Shitty tactics all around for delivery apps... let's charge more plus add-on fees after fees...

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

And base the tip on fees...

I get kids meals sometimes because the combo meals are too much food

[-] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Sometimes I order an appetizer and/or straight sides at a restaurant too lol. Not at a fancy one of course

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] tehWrapper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mcdouble meal is the best deal on the menu.
