So recently, McDonald’s came out with their “Minecraft Movie” meals - kinda like a happy meal, but it came with a whole-ass Big Mac. I find this so funny because essentially, they’re admitting that they’ve shrinkflation’d their food so badly that their flagship burger is now so small, it’s suitable for kids who are young enough to want the Minecraft theme and toys!!
Or a lot of minecraft fans are adults now.
I remember growing up, being able to go to McDonald’s on Sunday or Wednesday and get like a whole big bag of burgers/cheeseburgers with $5 because they were 29-39 cents each.
Seems like it’s from the 50s or 60s; but this was the 90s!
(Though… Shit. I am still old enough to be a grandpa 😩)
Ok, but it’s also only for 9 hours on one specific day of the year, that day also only happening every 4 years
they had 3 cheeseburgers for $1 promos back then a lot too. My mom was poor and she would rain burgers on us every time they would get that cheap.
That alone would cost like €5 here. It only ever makes sense to go there when I’ve been driving for the whole day and just need to eat plain old boring food. For another few euros I can go to something like the Salsa Shop and get a massive burrito that’ll keep me full for half a day. Ironically, it’s often multiple times faster than THE fast food restaurant.
Yeah McDonald’s is purely for on the road. Other food in its price range is leagues above. There’s better options on the road too, but McDonald’s is so small and minimal, it’s easy to eat with one hand and steer with the other; no mess.
Haven’t been in a while, but these were 2 for $3.50 pretty recently around me. The thing is, they are small and you wouldn’t think it could fill you up, but whatever chemicals they add to these things makes just 1 small burger feel like you overate. Eating what, for me, is like 3 bites of food should not make you feel that way. It’s unnatural and you can feel the unhealthiness. 🤣
Gimme the big-ass burrito made by the little old Mexican lady in a truck around a construction job site. It’ll cost the same, but taste better and not make me feel like I’m gonna die.
but whatever chemicals they add to these things makes just 1 small burger feel like you overate.
That’s usually a feature of good food. I agree that it’s odd that a hamburger would be that way, but usually what causes that is fiber.
Oh yes. I’m a convert to burrito shops. Cost is about the same as fast food chains, without the chemicals and corporate crap, and I get to support local families. Also, delicious. Win, win, WIN!
I remember that. My dad would get bags of them and put them in the freezer. I eventually got so sick of eating those shitty burgers.
Holy god
MacDonald’s cheap fried food was a large contributor to America’s obesity epidemic.
And here I am, having not eaten McDonald’s in years because it tastes like shit.
hunger is the best seasoning.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a mc d’s, but when I used to frequent them it was because there weren’t other options around. I do fondly remember their anus burger as being moderately palatable to my (at the time) minimum wage worker self. I’m sure if I tried it again today I’d vomit. These days I prefer my greasy burger fix from bars, I know it will be good because they can’t stay in business with bad food.
anus burger
🤨
anus burger 😋
imma leave the typo. it’s funnier that way.
Went for the first time in probably 5 years the other day. 15 freaking dollars just for me. Ridiculous. I’ll just keep going to my local burger place for that price
for 15 bucks you can get 2 double doubles from in and out. Or a tripple from whataburger. Or an actually good burger from a bar with a grill.
I get that reference.
I don’t
In 2018, there was a show called She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which was a sort of reboot of the old '80s cartoon of (nearly) the same name. The girl in the comment above my OP is Entraptra, one of the princesses. She’s obsessed with miniature versions of food.
OP’s post had a miniature-sized combo meal in the last panel.
My roomate got 40 chicken nuggets for 10 dollars. Still seems like an alright deal to me but I don’t eat fast food much so I don’t really know what is a good price
Edit: just saw kolanaki’s comment wtf
And this is the comment that made me notice i havent seen amything from kolanaki, and in fact can’t see anything from them newer than like, february. Weirdness.
Edit: ah. Instance ban from blahaj.zone
You can get massive bags of basically the same thing from a frozen food chain for £10, legit 100 nuggies in a bag.
McDonalds is dogshit value.
Damn, crazy how cheap meat can get
Mechanically separated meat is cheap and has very little nutritional value.
No one who eats chicken nuggets is doing it for the nutritional value.
That guy getting his dick sucked?
Never been to a blowbang?
All he really wanted was the Happy Meal toy.
