What the fuck is going on with fast food these days? They at least used to pretend their shit was quality and tasty in advertising and now they don't even bother. It's like they're making food solely for TikTokers to gawk at. Like the shit with the McDonalds celebrity meals - don't eat this because it's good, but its what some pop star ate. Or picrel bizarre fucking vomit - but its Batman! its not even about food at all anymore.

This is so far from calzone you can't even see it from there. Who green lighted this mess?

when they'll throw all their money away, why shouldn't fast food places try to get some? no one is forcing you to eat that shit.

1) It's just another fad they jump on. It's just like smiley fries and green ketchup when you were a kid. This kind of shit is for children.
2) it hasn't been about food since the first chain hit the stock market.

Idk, I thought this was a joke. I guess it's real and probably some mkultra op to activate someone or something.

Peak retard. Make your own food, no one is forcing you to buy that shit. I do agree with you that the McDonald's and Papa John's/Domino's gimmicks are beyond retarded but there always retards willing to throw away their money

fast food caters to a poorer demographic then it use to in the usa. the median customer a generation ago was more or less average income now the median is like 25th-30th percentile. also you were 10 years old and were more easily impressed

I haven't so much as stopped at McDonalds for a coffee in years, of course I don't eat this shit. But obviously I'm constantly inundated with advertising, see people eating it, watch weekly reviewbrahs. This is just an observation. I remember when mcdonalds pretended to be healthy and everyone was about advertising "REAL meat" and shit.

lol this was largely a PR push because people always made jokes about fake meat at these place. no one was considering mcdonalds a cultured establishment only supreme gentlemen frequented in 1997, 2003, 2009 any differently than they do know

it's amazing how bad nostalgia fogs up so much of a lot of you guys memories

Remember reading a story written by someone who worked at a Panera Bread or something. The short of it was customers rarely were interested in genuinely new menu items, so they ended up being a waste of money for the business. By contrast, menu items comprised of ingredients used in other dishes but just rearranged slightly differently tended to make a much bigger splash. Meaning, the profit margins of just folding a pizza in half and calling it something else are much higher than if they added new toppings

You’re being obtuse. The obvious implication was that Michael Jordan was such a good baller is because he was eating McDonalds. And if you eat a McJordan combo, in no time at all you’d be throwing dunks from the 3pt line too
