>McDonald's is offering a $2.50 McDouble for a limited time on its McValue menu — but some customers argue the so-called "deal" highlights how far fast-food prices have climbed.>"On social media, some folks have voiced their distaste for McDonald's seemingly never-ending price increases, claiming that customers are falling for the old switcheroo," The Takeout reported.>"Anyone remember when McDoubles used to be 99 cents? It was only 10 years ago," a Reddit user wrote, in part.https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/mcdonalds-2-50-mcdouble-sparks-backlash-americans-say-fast-food-no-longer-cheap
mcdouble a shitwas a bad deal at $0.99Macdonals a SHIT!
Americans on here are always bragging about how rich they are but yet they can't afford McDonalds? What are they spending their money on?
>>22009346>What are they spending their money on?healthcare
>>22009346I dropped 12k on a Harry Potter pinball machine and 9k on a Pokemon pinball machine. I won't shop at McDonalds on principle
>>22009422ima need a pic of that pokeman pinball mochine bro
>>22009346saying something is too expensive isn't the same as saying you can't afford it
>>22009423Both of those machines will be here later in the year but will join my lethal weapon 3 and godzilla.
>>22009342they literally removed the mcdouble in all mcdonalds near me.There was a time it was literally the cheapest meat protein you can buy and perfect for workout bulking.. guess me and other gym rats buying 13 mcdoubles every other day was too much. Fucking cunts.
>>22009346There are around 340 million people in the US. They vary greatly in wealth and preferences.
>>22009342Damn those Jews at it again!
>>22009434sick. pinball machines are cool.
>>22009342Buy an ad, faggot
>>22009342I can count the amount of times I've been to McDonalds in the last 10 years on one hand. I don't feel as if I miss anything other than the option
>>22009342The fact that it's not even the vastly superior double cheeseburger, but the fucking mcdouble, and it's more expensive? Fuck this.
>>22009342With shrinkflation its basically the McLunchable.
>>22009342Fast food is absolute fucking garbage.
>>22009342this shit got me purchasing ground beef to make hamburgers from scratch for the first time in my life.
Lets take a look at McDonalnd's performance>According to MacroTrends, McDonald's annual gross profit for 2025 was $15.435 billion, a 4.93% increase from 2024. The company reported a net income of $8.56 billion for the full year 2025, with diluted earnings per share at $11.95, representing a 5% increase.So the line is still going up despite near tripling of menu favorites, millenial grey remodeling, shrinkflation, and what the fuck else we can all see. I wonder why that is. The size is down, quality is down, and price is up resulting in much more profit to the company. Should they stop this trajectory if its benefiting them?
>>22009711McDonald’s profits are generated from franchising and real estate. The franchise owners benefit from food sales.
>>22009711>get people addicted to your food because it's fast, cheap, and edible>increase price>people keep buying it because it's still fast and edible
>>22009722>get people addicted to your foodShut the fuck up. There is no chemical additiction. What they have is brand momentum, not addicted consumers. >>22009714>uhh, ackshually, they make money from sources other than food!Then why are they in the food business. Couldn't they make so much more money simply being a real estate company? No? Wow, you don't know what you're talking about.
>>22009344'a' shit? Terrible ESL on display.
>>22009346>What are they spending their money on?israel
>>22009486340 documented + 100 million undocumented illegals
>>22009727McDonald’s is a real estate company you dumb cunt. It’s been listed as such since the nineties.
>>22009727lmaoyou just hit schooled, retard
>>22009766>It’s been listed as such since the nineties.Listed where? On your schizo notepad? Again, if they're making most of their profit, more than their food side, why are they still bothering with that whole selling food thing?
Fast food and especially McDonald's IS overpriced but it's impossible to have an actual dialogue about this because all you get is fat fucking retards crying that things were cheaper decades ago.
>>22009732Absolute fucking newfag.
Something that's pissed me off for a while. >Cheeseburger: One patty, one slice of cheese>Double Cheeseburger: Two patties, two slices of cheese>McDouble: Two patties, one slice of cheese>Triple Cheeseburger: Three patties, two slices of cheeseShouldn't it be three patties, three slices of cheese? I'd have expected the Triple Cheeseburger to be called the McTriple if they they're only adding an extra patty to the Double.
>>22009780New York Stock Exchange you absolute fucking mong.
>>22009803>your waifu a shit
>>22009342shopping news should not exist.
>>22009811Just because it says Female on your drivers license doesn't mean you are one.
>>22009780>Again, if they're making most of their profit, more than their food side, why are they still bothering with that whole selling food thing?you know nothing of the long game.mcd's knows that eventually it will stop the slop and become landlords.
why are right wingers so obsessed with McD slop?
>>22009434Fucking nice
22009780>Listed where? On your schizo notepad?nigger just take the L and go homeNot even going to give you the (You), you're so patheticnewfags ffs
>>22009837Shit you rekt and this gay response worsened it
goy slop should be the most expensive food you can buy. you can’t change my mind, you know i’m right.
>>22009342This is no longer Dinnertimin'
>>22009342Isn't US McDonalds like literal and unironic poison with several confirmed extremely unhealthy elements in it
>>22009937Idk, why don’t you tell us with specifics since you seem to know
>>22009711Brown people buy fast food and there are more of them every year.
>>22009780Hes right you spazz. This was even addressed in the michael keaton movie if youre eliterete
I last ate at McDonald's 5 years ago and the shrinkflation was obvious. The burger patty was way smaller than the bun.
>>22009358This hits. $95 to go to the Dermatologist yesterday and my prescription is going to be like $100 since insurance won't cover it.
>>22010149>This was even addressed in the michael keaton movie if youre elitereteoh the irony
>>22010169I think the gay did it on purpose to try and be tres hilaire
>>22009810The triple existed years before the McDouble.
>>22009342Do Americans want their mystery meat cancer treats to be made from even cheaper and lower quality ingredients?
>>22010323No, they want the people who make the food to be paid even less.
Short of literally walking into a Tyson board meeting and executing them all I don't really see a solution. The Big Four are a cartel and the Big Four are suppressing the herd count by refusing to buy enough to meet consumer demand.Every single rancher wants to raise more cattle. They have the capacity. The Big Four won't buy, so the ranchers can only try to cope by selling direct to consumers but the market for people buying a quarter cow and throwing it into the freezer is not the same scale.
>>22009346Who the fuck is spending money at McDonalds if the food is dogshit and made by a third world slave class who fuck up your order and have it come out cold 80% of the time. Would you spend $20 on a croissant with a 60% of it being fucked up? Most people can afford $20 but you'd be fucking retarded to do so in that scenario.
>five dollars for two mcdoubles (probably over six with tax)yeah that's shit. they're also getting rid of free refillsmcdonald's sucks
>>22009722>entire next generations skip getting addictedThey are fucked. Completely cannibalized their business for shortsided gains. Coke is the same.
I just buy the chili dog from speedway now
