$5 meal my brother in christ a big mac meal is like $11 something.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 50 points 1 month ago

No, it's definitely the new $5 meals that they just rolled out like a month or two ago that are basically priced the same as a Happy meal with a similar amount of food

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

The fry company is blaming the meal deals because they come with a small fry instead of a giant one lol

Jesus fucking christ

Potatoes are cheap as fuck and fries make so much money

[-] Eco@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

at least in europe, potatoes aren't nearly as cheap as they used to be as the changing climate has led to a couple of terrible harvests in a row

idk if it's the same in the usa though

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Back home if the harvest isn't doing so good they crack open liberal skulls and get them that way

If this is what I think it is, and it really might be, they probably had a predicted profit they didn't meet and considered it a failure (similar to how dead space 2 was a financial success but didn't meet the predicted profit and so was deemed a failure and why dead space 3 was made to appeal to a broader audience).

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I remember EA saying that if Dead Space 3 didn't sell 10,000,000 copies then it would be considered a failure

Which, only shit like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto sells like that

SMDH Bidenflation strikes again joever

I was gonna say the fucking fries themselves are more than $5 and they're cold and soggy by the time they hand you the bag half the time.

[-] Sinister@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Even fastfood is now expensive.

Aren't many people boycotting McD*nald's due to the company endorsing Zionism? That will decrease your profits for sure.

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not inside amerikkka, mena had dropped though (but only like 5 percent). They use locally sourced fries (or at least from europe), so i couldn't make a case for unlimited bankrupcies on the first world, when i looked into it a week ago

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

the 5 dollar meals have been missing for fuckin years and have been "back" for like, 6 months tops.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

lol, so fucking funny.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

McDonald's going under would be one hell of a "October surprise"

[-] gearheart@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Bet you the CEO still got a payday and payoff

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

How is McDonald’s still around? Their response to competition was to cut staff and increase prices. Their food sucks so bad

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 8 points 1 month ago

I don't understand how shareholders don't recognise a lazy complacent CEO when they see one

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, sure. "The deal is too good! We're goin' out of business!" C'mon Mr. Krabs, we're not falling for this shit or Red Lobster's.
