The McDouble is the only thing worth getting on the McDonald's menu anymore

No deals, no rewards, nothing good on the menu that isn't like 8 dollars (???) for a fucking regular sandwich
Fuck corporations and fuck drumpf |
Date: May 21st, 2026 5:24 PM Author: German pumo A few weeks ago they stealth raised the price on the McDouble by getting rid of the "buy one get the second for a dollar" special. Unless you're some woman who gets full on just one McDouble, a significant price increase.
A lot of people start considering themselves poor only when they can't afford to take their family out for McDonald's now and then. |

Date: May 21st, 2026 6:56 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; This last round of value menu price hikes have been the biggest impetus to finally stop my Heavy User lifestyle and not eat such a disgusting volume of fast food anymore. The period between 2023 and summer 2024 was frustrating because they raised the premium menu items to such an absurd level, and it was clear they were benchmarking off healthier/better places like Chipotle. And the highest brand equity place, Chick Fil A, just went absolutely nuts raising prices I gather because of Raising Canes and their blue state expansion. But IFing and getting 10k steps most days I lost ~10 pounds and got slightly stronger and fitter during this period until the Iran war price hikes eating the same McDonalds order at least 3x a week: the $5 spicy mcchicken meal plus a buy one get one for $1 (usually either 2 double cheeseburgers or one and a 6 piece). Removing half the buns it was roughly 1000 calories and 80 grams of protein. Leaving aside all the salt, saturated fat, trans fats and carcinogenic additives that New Jersey’s best food scientists could conjure, it was satisfying to feel like my fast food shopping acumen had defeated Biden-Trump inflation and I wasn’t getting fatter or spending the time it would take to buy groceries, meal prep, clean up/do dishes afterward all to shoot for effectively the same macro profile. Even stipulating that I could likely save at least $200 a month if I really wanted to lock in on making lunches the trade off seemed totally worth it in terms of time savings and the dopamine boost that eating fast food garbage provides to me along with the break from the office mid workday. I also liked that I didn’t have to deal with all their programming and attention economy strategies and data harvesting by avoiding their app.
This latest round of price hikes completely destroyed all of that. I have started skipping lunch entirely at least a couple days a week when I don’t have my shit together in the morning enough to make a sandwich or remember to grab some leftovers. If I’m hungry enough I feel like it’s impacting my ability to get something done I go to Jersey Mikes or Chipotle and fantasize about burning the place down every time the card terminal shows that I’m getting fleeced for $20 to buy their Sysco truck slop. Half my incentive to pack lunch or go hungry now is just to avoid the rage spike that I know I will have to endure otherwise. It’s one of those weird things where I can step outside myself enough to notice how weird it is that this is so enraging to me while it’s happening, and yet I stay YSFF mad about it. Fuck Biden, fuck Trump, fuck this retarded war, fuck the powerbottom McDonald’s CEO and his faggy little woman bite he took out of his (admittedly objectively disgusting) Big Arch, fuck the VP of Product Quality who pushed for the rectangular spoon in the McFlurry, and if you want to be down with McDonalds then fuck you, too. Kash Patel driving drunk into the drive thru speaker, fuck you, too, Donald eating his feelings after he sees the latest intervals on his approval rating, fuck you too, all yall motherfuckers die of ass cancer motherfucker fucking $3 dollar menu make sure all you motherfuckers spend the rest of your days scamming crypto. |
