never was

>>18080913
"Wrong."

>>18080916
I can deal with inflation. What I CAN'T deal with is inflation AND lower quality. I would pay today's prices if it tasted like 20 years ago. Hell even 10 years ago the mcdouble was pretty good.

>>18080913
>>18080916
BTFO

Haven’t been worth it since the regular cheeseburgers And mcchicken stopped being a dollar. They also got rid of the snack wraps

>>18080930
inflation drops quality.
that's literally economics 101.

>>18080916

>fries went from being some of the best in the US for fast-service to just about the worst
it honestly feels like they barely cook them anymore, they used to be golden brown to the point of almost burning and very salty. Now they're pale and cold and dry.
>the chicken nuggets got worse
i don't know how they managed to fuck the nuggets up but they're tiny and thin now and they're always soggy, no matter what location.
I don't even need to mention any more because those were easily two of their biggest things and they both suck now.

>>18081592
My biggest problem with the nuggets ever since the pink goo scandle they leave all this nasty fatty sinew tissue and shit makes me actually vomit people who still eat them should be buried alive.

>business carries on for 50 straight years with everyone acknowledging it isn't good but it's cheap
>even media makes it seem like a place you go once a week at most or as a treat
>suddenly a severely alcoholic scam artist makes a movie and the entire company shits the bed overnight
>when he admitted he was lying
>they didn't revert back to anything
>the food is still just as bad
>but now it tastes to match

>>18080895
It actually does taste like cardboard after a while, but somehow it's still enjoyable too. Fucking black magic

>>18081196
>Super sized double quarter pounder
One way ticket to diabetes city

>>18081598
What's wrong with sinew? It's collagen, it's natural and essential. If you take the fishscale stuff, your face will improve. Another type of collagen helps your joints.
Being grossed out by stuff that goes into nugs or sausages is cooklet schizophrenia

>>18081598
I hate absolutely every mouthbreathing gen x mother who used the early and mid 2000s to strip apart and comfy bumper everything in the united states. OH NO PINK GOO as she sends her kid to school every day with a bag of chips and a jif peanut butter sandwich on white bread and a can of soda

>>18080913
/thread

>>18081611
>what's wrong with it

Makes me vomit from being too gross like I already said. Try to keep up.

Wasn't the pink goo crap just mulched chicken with some type of flour meal that held it together to reshape back into nuggets?

>>18081613
Yep. Although let's get real the people have no control over what they think anymore at large (((news))) and (((social media))) tell them what to think.

>>18081616
Whiny faggot. Man up

>>18081186
Quality drops regardless

>>18081624
>man up and eat my disgusting goy slop

Nah I eat real food bitchtits you keep the fast food.

>>18081628
Not only you're a faggot, but you're also a retard.

>>18080916
>coffee shakes
dang

>>18081636
Takes one to know one.

zoomers will never know what McDonald's fries fried in beef tallow taste like

>>18081628
>goyslop
got your whole discord laffin with that one, tranny

>>18081674
They changed the recipe in 1990. The only people that know what they used to taste like are literal boomers

>>18081685
The chips used to stay upright. Now they just flop after a minute in the red box

>>18081675
Every single time that word gets used on this board, someone replies with a wojak and calls it a forced discord tranny meme. What the fuck? Is it some psyop?

>>18081692
Just one internet addicted incel.

>>18081692
I mean, it IS a forced discord tranny meme.

>>18081620
yes, it was essentially a farce, same as you'd find in hotdogs or sausage

>>18081692
>when someone posts something retarded they get called a retard

Yes.

>>18081692
People just think your unfunny forced shit is dumb

>>18081692
goyslop addicts seethe.
Imagine how fat they are lmoa

>>18081725
it's even funnier the 2nd time, I'll post the screenshot to #goyslop_general, I know you're busy dilating

>>18081730
it's not really funny, it's actually tragic how big a problem fatties are.

>>18080916
According to google, this was 1972, so a few prices are

A quarter pounder with cheese then is $4.89
now
Cheeseburger is $2.31
Fries/apple pie are $1.82
Shake is $2.45
Drinks are 1.40

So not a million miles away from now. However, food was likely a better quality then anyway. Also no nugs, which is a shame

lemme get two cheeseburgers, large fries, vanilla shake and a big box of nuggets with one bbq sauce and one chili sauce

>>18081602
somebody redpill me on this. what did he lie about? was he not eating mcdonalds everyday as he claimed?

>>18081758
the other thing to consider is that CPI and other inflation metrics often don't include housing, education, and a few other key components of your actual real buying power. So we're actually way worse off than many of those calculators would leave you to believe.

>>18081965
His doctors said he got liver damage, what he didn't tell them was that he was a raging alcoholic while doing the documentary.

>>18081692
the guy obsessivly replying is a sperg but “goyslop” is a gay unfunny forced meme that isnt even from /ck/.

>>18081965
if you make a documentary about eating mcdonald's and make several claims on the effect it had on you the most obvious question becomes "what did you eat exactly?" and he has never revealed his logs to anyone

>>18081965
I mean even if he didn't outright lie the whole thing is a farce. I don't think anyone is under the impression that they should eat fried and calorie dense fast foods for every single meal, and there's way to many external variables that could affect his health outside of what he was eating that there was no control for.

Usain Bolt ate McDonalds all the time when he was the fastest man alive. Calories are calories and food is food. If you eat the appropriate amount for your activity level and appropriate enough macros you're fine.

>>18081609
meat doesn't cause diabetes

>>18080895
Fast food has never been cheap. It's point has always been speed and convenience, not cheapness.

>>18080895
They are the only consistent fast food place out there. I know the ice cream machine isn't working, I know that my burger will have the same consistent cardboard taste, and I know the fries will still be crack.

It isn't good, but I will get it for the expected convenience every time. Taco Bell is also a pretty solid second choice.

>>18081674
Zoomers will never experience a hot burger in a styrofoam container

>>18081640
not only are you a retard and a faggot, buy you're also gay

You can use the app to get two Double cheeseburger for the price of one.

Nearly 1000 calories for $2.89

>>18082105
They still use these in Mexico.

>>18080916
now post the cost of real food during that timeframe. checkmate.

Modern McDonald's and Burger King give me strange hangover-like symptoms which I don't get with other unhealthy fast food such as döner, street sausages, or Asian stuff. It's not just stuffed from all the fat and shit like with kebab but really sick on the stomach, headaches, etc.

>>18082177
Same, but I only eat this shit drunk

>>18082105
I've had plenty of these from local restaurants, it's only chains that don't do this.

>>18081965
He later admitted his hyper-vegan fiance influenced a lot of bias in the movie. He also revealed or it was revealed that he was a raging alcoholic while doing the mcdonalds movie and that he purposely took footage from his INITIAL tests saying "bro your liver is about to explode because you drink 750ml of vodka a day" and used it in a cropped way to make it look like "bro your liver is about to explode because MCDONALDS". His second movie about chicken chains got canceled, he was thrown out of his awards academy crap or whatever, not allowed at future ones, etc. Other people even made movies proving him absolutely wrong.

>>18080895
I only go to McDonalds when travelling for work and I get whatever the special burger is because a) work is paying and b) I'm driving on the motorway so there's less diversity there to fuck up my order. I do prefer Burger King though, would never pay for it myself, about £9 for a meal, it's almost as expensive as a sit down burger restaurant and not nearly as good. The chips suck.

>>18082290
And because of this, within just a few days "supersizing" was removed at mcdonalds. In the months after they'd start pulling more shit from the menu, introduced "adult happy meals" with salads, a bottle of water, and a step-counter toy for exercise. Then the restaurants started changing to become more of a cafe, also removing most of the designs and colors of the older buildings. I'm not so much pissed about the fast food as I am that such a shitty bitchboy managed that impact for a totally invalid reason.

>>18080895
in europe it hasnt been worth it for like the last 10 years, for the same price you literally can eat in an actual restaurant and get bigger portion size on top of it. Mcdonalds literally has become more expensive than eating in traditional restaurants and chinese restaurants, mcdonalds is now the "luxury" option lol you pay luxury prices for less and worse food.

>>18082306
I can't believe how expensive it's gotten, especially here in the US. People used to say "oh we eat at mcdonalds so much because groceries are expensive" or "poor people can only eat mcdonalds because of food prices" but holy fuck if you're having to feed like 4+ people at mcdonalds nowadays thats like 8 dollars a person. Instantly having to drop 32 dollars at fast food is nuts. I remember a summer in the early 2000's where all summer hamburgers and cheeseburgers were 50 and 75 cents respectively. Happy meals were a 1.99 until the mid 2000's too.

>>18082290
>His second movie about chicken chains got canceled
I don't know what I would do if muh chik fil a was harmed in any way.

>>18080895
it's not, last time I went I couldn't believe how ridiculous the prices have changed and the already low quality dropped and the servings have been shrunk.

>>18082319
Yeah going with a family easily fucks you out of 30-50 euros here.. what can i say.. i am from austria/germany and mcdonalds for the last decade didnt just simple use the bullshit 1€=1$ idiocy that for years meant a price increase of 30% nope they literally demand more € than it costs $ ín the US and we get slightly smaller portion sizes and less options lol Fuck em, its no surprise that chinese restaurants, pizzas and kepabs have been eating their lunch (lol) in europe over the last years.

>>18082306
that was true in eastern europe forever. it used to be seen as a good meal and was always the $$$ option.

>>18080895
Breakfast is like $7 now. WTF?

>>18082339
>its no surprise that chinese restaurants, pizzas and kepabs have been eating their lunch (lol) in europe over the last years.


"The largest McDonald's franchisee in the U.K., Atul Pathak, has sold his locations and is opening up to 30 German Doner Kebabs, a fast casual brand based in Scotland that serves traditional kebabs.
"After nearly 20 years with McDonald's, I decided to sell my business and explore new opportunities that reflected the changes we are seeing amongst Gen Z and Millennial consumers,""

>>18082339
some price increase in europe can be explained away by "higher" food standards that the EU forces... but eh most of the price increase has always been on the bullshit side

>>18082345
Seen as a middle class thing in Brazil. For half the price with no exaggeration you can a steak meal with more than twice the amount of food in a normal cheap restaurant that you find everywhere. Or buy better bigger burgers on the street for half as much too.

i actually liked mcdonalds mostly for routinely buying a bunch of mcdoubles for cheap protein but yeah that doesnt fly anymore lol

I don't understand why aren't we allowed to call food designed to make poor people fat stupid and easily controlled goyslop? That's literally what yiu eat so if you're not cool with that stop eating it.

go back to discord, you unwanted transgender

That's the slop the (((billionaires))) feed you cattle so you get addicted and end up obese and sick by 35 on a ventilator from a common cold.

>>18082130

>>18082447
shills have to respond with a wojak, it's their job
make pig feed looks normal and cool to eat

>>18082332
why?

>>18080895
the issue i have with mcd and most fast food (mcd seems to be the worst in this)
is that i can eat literally until i cant anymore and yet after 3-4 hours i am hungry again... its a money sink and yet i dont get full for any extended time...

>>18082447
I never said that you couldn't. I said that your forced bullshit isn't funny and people are going to keep calling you a faggot for spamming it

>>18082105
Why did they get rif of these anyway?

>>18082802
By "people" you mean just (you) and (you) alone.

>>18082868
All those people you quoted are calling you stupid fag though

>>18082942
Nobody cares what you think though, no matter how much you spam because you're obviously a triggered faggot.

Magdonna's hasn't been good since they got rid of styrofoam containers

All I know is my McNuggets still distract me from eternal despair for an hour or so after consuming.

>>18080913
this but unironically
it was always a better deal to get a burger made from scratch with local ingredients at your local pub or family-owned place for $10 than paying $17 for a big mac meal made from soy bread and imitation meat product (TM)

>>18080930
inflation is literally made up bullshit spread around by the same retards that are convinced that economics MUST be based around an endless growth model (which isnt sustainable)
inflation is literally just a fatcat ponzi scheme to trick the rest of society into putting up with greedy fucks constantly jacking up prices for no reason

>>18081602
being real, the only people who actually went to McDonalds in the last 15 years were
>fat tradies getting lunch, who dont mind the high prices cuz they make $80/hr digging holes
>3am crackheads and drunks on a friday night who are too drunk/high to care about paying $6 for 6 McNuggets
>boomers who go on Sunday mornings cuz McDonalds is still the only place to do $2 coffees and have free newspapers
they havent been a popular family restaurant since the 90s

>>18081592
nuggies are always crispy and have never had sinew or chewy bits when I order them. I’m a canuck though so it’s probably different “chicken”

>No, we need to stop them now, you can't make your own decisions

>>18084441
who knew eating fast food everyday would make you feel like shit

>>18082171
You're discussing with americans here. They don't understand the meaning of "real food". For them, any fast food chain product is "THE" real food. Just scroll through this board

McDonalds is only worth it if you are eating it as an American outside of America.
Of course, the prices and exclusives you could potentially be paying for when vacationing is offset by the fact you are eating McDonalds in a foreign land instead of getting dieases from the local stands.

Nothing changes about the burger, you just get a bigger coke and fries

>>18082290
>>18082299
What if... McDonalds was going to remove supersizing, redesign their stores, and advertise as healthy anyways? What if the movie had little to do with that and actually worked as a big ad to get people temporarily disgusted at McDs but then, when they "cleaned up their act", so to speak, customers would come back and think it's healthy and okay now? I think Morgan Spurlock was working for them all along and they took a short term hit for a bigger, more profitable propaganda gain.

As a kid I was ameriphobe so I hated everything connected with America
> inb4 serbian/Iraqi/paki... No I just saw America as the globohomo capital since a very young age
there are girls aged 21 who say their fav food is from mcd and these arent ghetto ladies, but daughters of lawyers etc...

I don’t even like soda anymore, there’s way too much sugar, corn syrup, seed oils and trans fats everywhere.
I still like sodium though. God bless america for salty foods.

>>18081184
My nigga. Back in the glorious 90s we had 35¢ hamburgers on Wednesday and 45¢ cheeseburgers on Thursday. You fucking zoomers don't even know what they took from you.

>>18084610
they have a point.

inflation was probably real at some point in the past but corporations today are showing record profits while blaming their rising product cost on "inflation". Utter bullshit.

>>18080916
This was in like 1970. They're selling burgers for the price of houses.

I went yesterday because the app gave $1 lg fries with a purchase so I bought a McDouble which was fucking $3.19. It was so small. I feel regret spending $4 on half a value meal with no drink. I’m deleting the app and not going back any time soon.

why did mcdonalds become a fast casual restauant?

>>18080916
keep in mind that in 1970, McD's was a 30 year old company. Now it's an 80 year old company. Everything gets worse over time. If you want to experience 50s McD's then there's always 5 Guys.

>>18086852
5 guys is way overpriced tho

>>18086852
>shilling for 5 shits
jog on lol

>>18086866
>>18086899
Bet 5 guys is better than 70 mcd. And I don't like 5 guys either.

He felt like shit every day because he was an alcoholic heroin addict like his deadbeat girlfriend. Fucking hate that faggot.

someone went to wendys and asked if i wanted anything. asked for their value menu hamburger and value menu chicken sandwich. they were absolute shit, i havent had fast food in over a year and im not going back anytime soon.

Last time I ate at McDonald's it was almost 13 bucks for 3 McDoubles and a small (medium?) fries.

He was drinking two handles of whiskey a day and trying to pass of his liver cirrhosis as being caused by mcchickens, and his cultist vegan woman was writing his scripts for him and she thought mcdonalds was literally satan.

Almost forgot, he was also on heroin.
