McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

[Michael Jacks0n]

Is it just me or has McD's gotten hella expensive in the recent years? For most of my life it was the place specifically to eat when you were poor or broke, but now I go and see 4-piece McNuggets for like $2 or some shit, and a Quarter Pounder is like $6. When did this happen?

When they delusionally thought that they could be artisanal.

Horrifically, they're still slammed for no goddamn reason. It's why I usually just get burgers anywhere else when I want them; only getting them when I'm just in the area.

People trying to raise minimum wage and businesses react by raising prices because fuck livable wages, my billionaires bottom line.

Like they keep fucking with their budget menu.
If you just need calories for day, the breakfest menu, get the BIG BREAKFAST, and you can just make a McMuffen out of it and you get pancakes and hash brown.

You will die if you do this more then 3 times in your life, so use with caution.

Tried the Mighty Hot Sauce today. Spoiler alert its just Buffalo sauce, nothing special.

Also a co-worker got a Happy Meal today and this is the box it came in:

Its so cute. I wish they had these back in the 90s when I was a kid when Pokemon was all the rage.

Nuggets and their chicken sandwiches are pretty good. Milkshakes are nice; but I can't drink them anymore. Did a detox thing and stopped fast food for like three months, now the McMilkshake tastes like sugar syrup death. Only one I can even keep down is the vanilla.

McDicks is getting expensive here in Argentina because of inflation, its almost as expensive as an actual restaurant now

Shame, I like the nuggies

 

[Haram Exercise]

Mcdicks is Laughably expensive now. I can either get a quarter pounder meal for $9 or go to the local Chinese or Mexican restaurant next door and get a lunch special for $6.
It's probably a combination of inflation, ingredient sourcing/competition, and making up for having to pay employees $15 wages.

And if you get an actual full dinner you have enough for two or even three meals from the ridiculous quantities of leftovers. And if you do eat it all in one go like a fat pig, it's basically your one meal for the day.

Mcdicks is Laughably expensive now.

Yes, and it really defeats the purpose of eating there other than if I really have a specific craving for something from McDonalds. There was once a time I could order a hamburger and a hot n spicy with fries for like 3 bucks. You’d combine the two burgers into a super burger that was amazing and gross all at the same time. I’ve heard this atrocity go by many names, but we referred to it locally as a McGangbang back in the day.

And if you do eat it all in one go like a fat pig, it's basically your one meal for the day.

Tell that to the denizens over in the deathfats section.

Where I am in Canada we'd call it that too. It was combining a Junior Chicken sandwich and a Cheeseburger sandwich (or McDouble if you're feeling like a little extra). Great shit.

A medium fry and a 6 piece nugget is 5 dollars and change at McDonalds now.

What the fuck? 5 dollars and change should get me that and a burger and a drink. I'll just go to the gas station and get their garbage for 3 bucks that is probably healthier and definitely more filling

Warts and all, I like McDonald's. It's a once in a while thing, but sometimes it's just nice to eat a Big Mac with fries!

If you like Mcdonald's but not the prices, use their app. Everyday, they give out deals. Some suck but there's some good ones out there. There have been times where I got over $20 worth of food for only $10 using the deals on there.

But anyways, I really like the quarter pounder with cheese. I always take off the mustard and pickles and it makes a huge difference in taste.

Yeah it's not too bad with the good deals. The buy one quarter pounder get the second free / for $1. And the $1 fries. Thing is I need to stop being fat. I used to get two mcdoubles for $2 when I worked next to a mcdonalds, it's a decently healthy lunch. but now it's like $4.25 for that.

I'm not going to eat two quarter pounders. A double quarter pounder maybe. But there's never a deal for that. Actually had Spicy McNuggets with Mighty Hot Sauce today. It isn't really Buffalo sauce. It's fairly thick and somewhat sweet. And reasonably hot. It's hotter than that weak ass Fire sauce from Taco Bell. And that's my McDonald's for the month.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one noticing the price hike, i thought i was losing my mind. People keep saying muh minimum wage but I didn't see a price hike until Corona hit. Like all other businesses taking advantage of the virus Mcdonalds is just using it as an excuse to scalp people. Bastards are probably making a killing right now with all the people getting takeout, especially since like half the menu items are unavailable.

You know shit is fucked when your friendly neighborhood Chinamen are offering a more affordable deal than the local McDonalds. The place I favor around here is locally owned by one family and they haven't had a single price hike throughout this whole ordeal while just about all of the chain restaurants are 20-30% more expensive than they used to be.

I'd say its got a lot more kick than typical buffalo sauce, I actually compared them. The Mighty Sauce also has a sweet undertone that gives it a distinct strong smell. Usually I'm using all the sauce in the packet, but the mighty sauce, I use just a little because its pretty potent.

Tried the new Chicken Sandwich today, as they are clearly trying to rip off Popeyes.
They serve it in the same style baggie.

Last time I had Popeyes, it was 3.99. Mcdonalds wants 4.19 for their basic, another 20-30 cents for spicy and they have something called "Deluxe" which I couldn't figure out the point of. It costs even more.

I went with the spicy. The sauce is the same, has pickles and its a pretty good sandwich. However the actual chicken piece is half the size of Popeyes, and there isn't a lot of crumbly fried bits on the edges.

A poor imitation, that still costs more somehow. Its a fine sandwich all the same, but I'd never get it again.

Apparently they are sold out of Mighty Sauce at my location, which is surprising. I didn't think people would like it that much.

It's actually pretty good.

My usual comparison of any McDicks chicken sandwich is more or less, is this worth four times more than the McChicken? It usually isn't.
