Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I mentioned this in the old GBS fast food thread, but I want to get more feedback on this. This is the pricing on McNuggets at my local Mcdonalds:



As you can see, there's a HUGE problem here. This the cost per nugget based on what quantity you ordered:

4 piece: .25 per nugget
6 piece: .33 per nugget
10 piece: .43 per nugget
20 piece: .27 per nugget

This is totally hosed up. It's cheaper to buy 5 4-piece nuggets than one 20 piece. The ten piece is almost DOUBLE the cost per nugget than the 4. I need to know if this insanity is nationwide. If you can, please screen shot and post the nugget costs in the McDonalds app. If you can mention your state or city (whatever you're comfortable with) it would be appreciated as well.

even worse in New York. Nearly 50 cents per nugg on a 6/10 piece.

4.99 per 20 in Tampa Bay. Last year on my birthday I streamed me eating 💯 and it cost 25 bucks and having to be the guy who retrieved it from the counter after hearing a bunch of guys yelling Won Hondred Nugges???!?!

$5 for 20 here in WI. They've been that way since forever. The menu doesn't list them that way tho, it lists 10 for $3.29 or something with no 20 piece option. You just order em and it comes up as 5 buxxxx.

Shame tax. You don't want to be the person who gets 20 nugs for themselves, so you pay a ridiculous amount for ten or six.

Or you get a 4 for your 3 year old

The 6 piece being 3.50 more than 4 is more hosed up to me than the 10 vs 20.

Mcds is always like this. It's not that the 4pc is cheaper, its that its on sale, always on sale.

If a sale lasts forever, is it a sale? A question for the philosophers.

Sometimes the 10 piece are 2 for $5 so I order two and the lady rings it up as a 20 piece which comes as two 10 pieces but costs $5,69. The price of nuggets is also different at the 3 closest locations to me.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I had no clue this was a thing

I downloaded the app after you posted that stupid Denver pic, and I got this mildly better version in Lakewood. :wtc: is going on?

Four: 37¢/nug
Six: 33¢/nug
Ten: 46¢/nug
Twenty: 30¢/nug

The ten-piece is an outlier here in Pittsburgh (specifically East Liberty). Otherwise it almost makes sense.

edit: Another McDonald's less than a mile away has the Twenty Piece for 6.99 (35¢/nug) instead of 5.99. I never even considered that the prices would be different.

at the one here, it's cheaper to buy a sausage cheese biscuit ($1.30) and an egg biscuit ($1.99) than it is to buy a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit ($3.59). And then you get an extra biscuit!

At mine you can buy either 2 mcchickens for $1.49 each, or do the 2 for 3 deal and get them for $1.50 each.
