it's fine. must be doing something right to be so popular to never be removed from the menu.
had big mac sauce for the first time in years about a week ago. it's the same, not worth it.
i always liked the big mac because it was the only thing they put lettuce on. iceberg lettuce gets a lot of hate but for some reason it goes great on a sandwich (burger is a sandwich) or a taco (folded sandwich)

Best McD burger. I don't get the hate for the middle bun since it basically disintegrates from the sauce and general moisture.

Unfortunately, the one and only time I ever used Doordash was for a big mac, and it arrived with one missing beef patty. I can't prove that the driver did it and that it wasn't a fuck up from the restaurent, but the idea of that filthy poor fuck tempering with my order, putting his dirty fingers on my burger and eating one of the patties on his way to my home makes my stomach turn. That association is burned in my mind and I haven't had McDonald's since then, like 3 years ago.

Thanks, Doordash.

Kids also reach for cereal boxes because of the packaging, anon. It's not as significant as you think. "Get them when they're young" doesn't work for one fast food restaurant in competition with others, though it may work with fast food generally.

[Anonymous No.19345930]

No it's not like that. I'm saying that everyone currently age 5-25 is more interested and talking about BK than we EVER were. I understand you still want to pretend our younger selves were "right" by throwing BK away, but none of these kids care about your or my opinion on what's "good". Remember the black bun fiasco? Everyone shat black and pulled them a new one. In contrast, I know zoomers I work with who show me AI memes, and talk about wanting to try the Spider Verse Whopper (it's a whopper with red bun and black sesame seeds and swiss cheese, that's it). I suspect in a few years McD's will actually have to start catering to this marketing style because it's REALLY working with BK and Wendys

By contrast, I only see derision for every attempt made by McDonald's. Every "deal" is a scam. Every "collab" is half assed and feels cynical. Zoomies don't appreciate inauthenticity. The fact that BK and Wendys can make fun of each other and themselves is what's more appealing when ALL the food is shit. And you underestimate the unboxing culture too. It's only a matter of time til none of the food influencers bother with McD's next 1975 Meal of whatever

Yes. But are they interested in eating it? We were all little kids once and everyone has memories of being marketed into wanting something and then realizing it sucks. Individual restaurant chains can't survive on just marketing. That is the lesson that the millennials that ran BK into the dirt had to figure out.

It's just starting dude. You'll see what I mean in a year or two. Kids ARE stupid but they are way more informed and plugged in through social media. yES other kids will brag, YES kids will buy it for that reason. The difference that in the 80s and 90s the kid shit with fast food was actually about value and taste. It's not about that anymore old man, just look at all the fucking soda flavors and disgusting bullshit coming out. We are in a post-sustenance world, at least in America.

The only provable industry where meme marketing works is insurance. That's why they were first out the gate with meme commercials back in the 00's. Literally no one thinks about their insurance or cares and it's all basically the same. Food is just about the exact opposite of that.

If you have a choice and you're with your friends and it's eating at Meme King and any number of other places in the same area, I just don't see Meme King being a choice. It's fucking gross at this point. Their quality is terrible and McD's is so far ahead of them (and Wendy's) it's not even funny.

I could be wrong about things long term. They have new management so if they turn it around, that's great but I don't see it happening on account of the marketing one way or another. It's still going to hinge on the food and if they get their shit together with an app. That McDonald's app is killing it.

All music and games are popular by how much memes are generated.
Look at craft beer. Look at app advertising. TikTok shows ads to millions of kids every minute, it's not the same as watching a catchy Empire carpet commercial. Look at the staying power of cringy shit like Mr Clean and Ryan Reynolds memeing his phone and gin companies. Look at Dos Hombres tequila, it's all just on the Breaking Bad meme power.

If you've been on this site earlier than last year you'd know it's been that way since at least 07. Yes the dumb insurance companies fucked up, but Shaq has proven that becoming a living meme sells product. He prints money for whatever ad he does. And yes, people still do by shit like The General because they see Shaq memeing it up with a shitty cgi character

I get what you're saying and I watched BK generate a fuck ton of hype. I'm not disputing that. But did it translate to sales? Not really. In fact, it probably hurt them way more than it helped.

I find it far more likely that disruption happens in the next few years if/when the economy stabilizes and some company can come in and adapt to the new realities and *specifically* target their business sort of like how Five Below did with retail. That is a zoomer store. We've yet to really see a zoomer restaurant chain. Everyone is still over-thinking things with apps and "ghost kitchens". But even if a new restaurant chain emerges for a younger demo I highly doubt they will be marketing their food with moldy sandwiches. There is no reality where that isn't a retarded decision.
