>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
they also removed the free fries you got by ordering with the appgreedy ass kikes
>>534594312Golden Age
>>534594312>It was only 10 years agothats a long time, unc
>>534594312So don't eat fast food. Its fuckin garbage food that slowly kills you
Fast food is literally at its cheapest, its healthy food thats gotten expensive.
>>534594312Just 3 years ago the app had a Buy one get one QP for $5, that is reasonable, $2.50 for a quarter pounder, a little bitty mcdouble for $2.50 ain't worth it
>>534594312what the fuck i havent eaten at mcdonalds since 2018 and it was $1.25 for a mcdouble back then and that wasnt even that long ago and now $2.50 is considered "le heckin epic deal!!" even though a mcdouble is half the size and half the quality it was in 2018
>>534594525lol wut? Fast food prices have AT LEAST doubled, sometimes tripled over 10 years. My Bison meat that I buy sure as fuck hasn't tripled over 10 years.
>>534594444not enough time to justify prices going up 8x (when you consider what you are buying is now half the size it was back then and half the quality, not just 2-3x the price)
Whoa the mcdouble food product for only 2.50? What a great restaurant!
>>534594533mcdoubles used to be absolutely FUCKHUGE in the early 2000s for only $0.50 each and i making minimum wage ate fast food for every meal. everyone did back then.
>>534594591My ground beef has almost quadrupled in 6 years. It used to be 1.99 per pound. Now it is $7-8 per pound. And the quality has dropped significantly.
>>534594312I stopped going when a large fries always came no matter which location, half empty.They used to fill it up overflowing. What is the point?
>>534594634I lived off them and jack in the crack 99 cent double tacos back in the 00s.
>>534594634my favorite food back then was beef jerky, which came in bags literally 4x the size of the largest sold today and was cheap. so cheap homeless people routinely ate it as a cheap snack. now i havent been able to afford beef jerky in years despite making $35/hour when back then i was making minwage
>>534594661Walmart's ground beef is now literally a bag of mush, as if they are literally watering it down which i guarantee you they must be.
>>534594549It's not even because the raw ingredients have increased in price. It's because McDonalds NEEDS to have increasingly HIGHER profits every quarter. Endless growth at all cost. That's why people are scoffing at this $2.50 McDouble, because it's not even that good of a deal, yet they are promoting it as if it is. Mcdonalds has already cut back significantly on portion sizes. The patty is a piece of paper at this point. They can't reduce costs there anymore than they have unless they start filling the burger buns and nuggies with sawdust. We're very quickly reaching the end game of the 'Needing growth every quarter' scheme.
>>534594525name a "healthy food" guarantee you mean some bullshit
>>534594711also something isnt even right about today's beef jerky, it has a weird texture, as if it is cut with onions protein or something, possibly meat glue. it isnt at all like it was in the 2000s in terms of texture. back then it was like denser harder actual dried meat.
>>534594312Good. Good! Now realize that Israel takes for granted that you will die for it, in exchange for immiseration, no hpuse, no wife, and unable to buy a burger.
>>534594753raw ingredients are getting very low quality but people dont realize. flour for example now has wheat contained in it that would have been considered rotten, molded, or otherwise unfit for human consumption just 10 years ago, to reduce cost.
>>534594661I don't buy ground beef, so I can't say anything about that. My Bison beef used to be $4/300g 5 years ago, and now it's $6/300g.I will say though that sometimes I buy frozen burgers, and I've noticed, mostly within the last 3 months, that they're 100% filling the patties with water. My pan may as well be steaming the fucking burgers with how much water spills out of it and evaporates, turning the burgers significantly smaller than they looked when frozen. Gonna have to just stop buy those as well.
>>534594591>hey this thing used to be virtually free, why am I having to pay for this slop now when I could eat 10 of these without sweating?hmm, obese Americans. The 99 cent slop burger answers everything.
>>534594312BACK IN MY DAY WE USED TO GET TWO MACBURGERS FOR A NICKEL
>>534594312STOP FUCKING BUYING ITGod I'm so fucking sick of these faggots who whine day and night then queue up for their slop. It's probably been 2 years now since I had fast food. It was never really worth it but now you have to be out of your mind to buy and eat that shit
McDonald's is for niggers.
>>534594922I do understand what my dad meant when he said gas was .25 cents a gallon and a coke was a nickel, money jews are clipping the coins and we are picking up the difference.
>>534594312>limited time $2.50god I remember when I could buy big macs for a dollar. Those were glorious days.
>>534594312Skimpchintzy's newest "value" shell game
>>534594444it's not that longespecially as the perspective of your life shifts so that 10 years is no longer like 40-50% of it but more like 30%or 20%when you're a kid a year feels like fucking forever cause that alone is like 10% of your life thus far
Today, I ordered at Mcdonald's, and they forgot to put Ranch Wrap in the bag, how the fuck do they hire people this incompetent? This isn't the first time that happened to me though, this happened many times actually. Sometimes they would forget napkins, straw or even sauces. Unironically never ordering from fagdonald's ever again. Their food isn't as great as it use to be and it's also expensive. Might as well eat rice and cooked ground beef at home.
>>534594661>And the quality has dropped significantlyThis is what Australia has been suffering through with Trump's tariffs. We know that American meat has seen significant declines in quality, and it has mysterious origins as well. So when Trump demanded we, as a nation which exports world class beef across the world, allow American beef to be sold here we gave a bunch of conditions. Orange man sperged and started threatening all sorts of shit. Our demands were quite reasonable, the meat had to be able to be tracked from farm to market so we could trace any illnesses/diseases and that it not use any banned substances like the various antibiotics that are banned here but not there. This was unacceptable for Trump and the situation deteriorated. Thankfully RFK Jr stepped in and went, "Actually, those Aussies might be onto something there" and now America has a tiered meat industry, shit that complies with international standards, and the poisonous slop served to the American people
>>534595195>Thankfully RFK Jr stepped in and went, "Actually, those Aussies might be onto something there" and now America has a tiered meat industry, shit that complies with international standards, and the poisonous slop served to the American peopleyeah no, just because the media says it doesn't mean it happened, they say shit like that all the time and then it just goes awayyou get chicken from a taco bell that is merged with a long john silvers because same parent company and it still tastes like neither chicken nor fish but some unholy combination of boththe sauce covers it up fairly well though, highly recommended
They also fully degraded the dining experience. It's empty, cold, sterile, and no refills at all. I'd rather pay $1-2 more and go to a fast food joint that feels better and treats you like a human, if I were to get fast food.
>>534594312It wasn't already over $2.50 a double?
>>534595486Because they don't want you to dine in. They want you to get your food and go. This isn't unique to McDonald's either. Most fast food places are like this. If you want a good dine in experience, go to a proper sit down restaurant.
>>534594797I’ve noticed this as well. It’s like glue now, not dried meat. Probably a mixture of using fattier cuts of meat and injecting fillers.
>people are eating less goyslop because the goyslop companies are callous and charge too muchWhatever gets them to stop eating that shit.
Even the dine in restaurants have terrible food. Its not unique to fast food. The whole food supply is cornered by 3 big providers. Sysco foods supplies like some 30% of all diners, slop huts, and cafes in my city. Beef is a big one thats been wonky. Its like all beef is getting mixed with glue and other protein.
>>534594312what annoys me the most is literally any foreign mcdonalds mogs american mcdondas in price and flavor. this is after fucking walmart kicked their broke retarded asses out. what's even more retarded is, almost all of the obnoxious shit that makes working there hard, has been pre cooked and shipped to microwave on demand and this is somehow like a constant problem no matter where you are in this mcshitbox
>>534595195RFK Jr. is the DRUMPF!-whisperer.
>>534596189oh and their newest biggest brained idea is putting heavy cream in soda. wowee
>>534595649shiiiieeeeet most of the places the place I recently moved from didn't even have dine ins anymore, you had to walk up to the door and yell your order through this speaker on the wall and they used this door chute thing they had to buzz open from the other side to exchange money and food of you weren't using the drive thruniggers
thinking back 20 years ago or even just 10 has thoroughly depressed me. the dumbass fucking zoomers who dont remember even 10 years ago barely have no idea how bad things really are now. AND THEY WONT DO SHIT.
>>534594312There was unleaded gas shortage in my area today, only premium and diesel :^)
>>534596266you know how you know he's controlled op, beyond being anti-covid vax but absorbing himself right into the father of the vax's admin?he's this conspiracy bro who talks about his dad and uncle's murder but NEVER ONCE mentioned Israel and JFK's threats to Ben-gurion earlier in 1963 at allnot one wordjust like the other controlled OPs like Oliver Stone, who blamed it on "racist right wing elements of the US government"
>>534596189>what annoys me the most is literally any foreign mcdonalds mogs american mcdondas in pricesome countries yea>and flavor.quality has slipped big time in australia. it used to taste pretty good in 80s-2000s. after 2010 not so much. mostly inedible.
>1/10th ounce patty>1/5th of a pound of meat in mcdouble>That's 12.50 per pound for beefGrass fed beef is 7.47 dollars a pound at shart mart and it comes in 1 pound freezer-ready packages.If you want some ragebait open that OP article btw and boomers are blaming all of this on minimum wage, it's just minimum wage going up bro that's why mcdonalds burgers they mass-produce on a grill cost as much as steak would cost you.
>>534596615And some more numbers - quotes from mcdonalds people> Thousands. We store 12 in a tray and normally have 6-8 trays full at any time. If it's busy, we're going through a tray in a couple minutes, sometimes way more if it's a new promotion day or Friday/Saturday/bank holiday.4hours×60=240mins 240mins÷2mins=120 120×12=1,440Minimum 1440 patties within 4 hours if a new tray gets made every 2 minutes. > 100lbs is about 3 boxes of 10:1 patties . There’s also the 4:1 patties . I would say about 6-10 boxes a day is usually the norm on a good day depending on the customer volume of the day. So the workers say that they go through like 200 or 300 pounds of meat a day. It's just one guy frying all those burgers. Just looking at these numbers is insane, from those same burgers for this limited-time promotion that's 2,500 dollars + worth of meat done by whoever's manning that grill.Yeah it must be minimum wage.
>>534594312Go to the other 10 small owned family restaurants or bars/grills...that'll show em! They'll reheat sysco food because the restaurant industry is dead. All a monopoly by GFS, Sysco, Restaurant Depot & the others. We'll all soon be eating off a standardized cafeteria menu unless we cook our own shit or go to an overly expensive in house restaurant
certain things like pic related are 20x the price they were in the 90s. Pine Sol cleaner USED TO BE almost pure pine oil now it has none and smells like stank toxic chemicals which it is. so if you want something equivalent to what Pine Sol was in the 90s you have to buy something like pic related, which would have been $2.50 in the 90s now its $60even someone on minwage in the 90s could afford REAL Pine Oil in like 20 minutes of work. now it takes someone like 3 hours of work
>>534596782now 1 gallon of pine oil can be yours for only $10.71 per month for 6 months!
>>534596761Pretty much the only still viable "fast food" is a local pizza place who will come in and give you a meal for 6-7 dollars (two slices of pizza is a meal if you're not obese), or the chinese place that will give you a meal for 10. So there are still a couple places around that will feed you.And if you've got a local diner they can be affordable at around 10-13 dollars a meal.Yeah other than that it's over, they feed you microwaved frozen meals and overcharge for it.
>>534596615are you retarded nigger? the entire point of fast food is that you dont have to cook it yourself. you pay extra for the convenience of not having to buy all of those groceries and cook and assemble it yourself. the problem is now that the convenience has too much of a premium.
>>534597033>Words everyone already knows with little relation to my postlmao
>>534594312>>"Anyone remember when McDoubles used to be 99 cents? It was only 10 years ago," a Reddit user wrote, in part.I think it was more like 6-7 years ago. Right before Covid
>>534596502they got rid of the mcflurry because wagies can't be bothered to blend ingredients into ice cream. even with tuition assistance and heath care. the sheetz moved their garbage cans away from the front door so you're less inclined to throw out your trash....because modern wagies have ascended from that lower behavior.
McDoubles are gudProbably the best thing there
>>534594444>>534594312daily reminder inflation numbers are a lie.everything is up multiple times the amount it grew in the decades before.
the cost of a mcdouble is like 15 cents with how much they buy in bulk, i think pickles are probably the most expensive item on the sandwich
>>534594312The dollar menu was kill in 2013...America never recovered
>>534594312When they first came out in the 90s, they were 2 for 99 cents. Little hungry, little hungry?
>>534597175nope it was the Big n Tasty, RIP
>>534597117how on earth can someone fuck up a mcflurry so badly that it's pulled from a menu? fuckers have the iq of ice.
I dunno the best thing mcdonalds has left now, I try to avoid it, not only cause of the price but it puts you at a certain risk of being murdered by a wakandan warrior or psycho junkie for your 5.00 prison burger
>>534594312>$2.50 for the poor man's double cheese burger
>>534594312If he doesn't match the LA Beast burger for burger in an eatoff then I'm thinking Arbys
>>534597354minimum wage, minimum effort
>>534594711The only affordable beef jerky is the Target brand ones, but even those prices are going up.
last fast food I had was a spicy cajun sub from firehouse, it was overpriced of course but good, ever since prices went insane its hard to justify getting any fast food even just once in awhile
>>534594444Kill yourself for using nigger speak.
Fuck the clown. I started to try the fire crotch girl Wendy to find out what I had missing. The quality is way better than Ronald Mcdonald. Thanks Dave. Rvem your nuggets are better. Oh, and Mellow Yellow Peach is the bees fuckin knees.
>>534594603Shrinkflation is a myth
>>534594591This all ends when the kikes that are doing this are flayed and not a moment before that.
Biden did this
>>534597073>no i was just breaking down the price of everything for no reason; i wasn't alluding to anything retard nigger
>>534594756My semen
>>534594312A lot of dicks are being sucked for McDoubles
>>534598122words put on a screen typed in a keyboard
>>534595509Yes, it was... That's why the $2.50 deal is a limited time promotion
>>534598284no actually im using a neural transmitter. i'm gooning to clowngirls in 4k while telling your stupid ass to fuck off
>>534594312the food is still cheap, everyone is just extremely poor and too stupid to realise it.people genuinely don't understand that the minimum wage should be like $100 now, they are getting absolutely robbed.
>>534594444I'm an unc certified I remember when $2 at Taco Bell got you a meal deal
I remember around 2009 when you could get a double cheeseburger, a filet-o-fish, a big Mac and six McNuggets for under $10. All a la carte.
>>534594312The CEO seems like a faggot and a loser. I’ve never seen shoulders so narrow on a guy.
Two McDoubles and a large sweet tea used to be five bucks even. It was the perfect McDonald’s order.
>>534594444You will be surprised in 10 years how fast it is
>>534598683He's manly
>>534594444It is when you're a kid, kid.
>>534597073This. He's a retarded faggot
MY CHEAP SLOP
>>534594711learn to make your own. It's what I did.I treated myself to a deli slicer and a nice dehydrator and make all my food myself.Now I enjoy jerky that's much better than store bought.Sliced meat + Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, sucralose, cayenne powder makes delicious sweat heat jerky. You've never had good jerky until you've made some that hasn't had the fat fully trimmed.The economy is not going to get better in our lifetime so cooking (among many other things) is something you're going to have to learn to do anyway. Not as a hobby, but as a way of life.
