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.
A few years ago there was a thread here about confusing nugget pricing in different places. Right now a 20 piece is $6. A 10 piece is $6.99. A 10 piece medium combo is $12.99. A 20 piece with medium fries and a large drinks ala carte is $8.40.

Goes to show pricing is only loosely based on supply or food costs or employee wages or anything real, it's actually just "whatever the hell we think we can get people to pay". Not like this is news, but some people still believe the excuses.

A lot of anime show characters eating at a fast food location with a golden W so they don't have to pay for the trademark

WcDonald's is a stand-in brand used in a lot of Anime and Manga. McD's is embracing it to show how hip and with it they are. *insert Hello fellow kids meme*

They've been doing it here for over a year. In my experience they're much fresher than what you typically get (Krispy Kreme-wise) at a grocery store.

The Steak Egg and cheese McMuffin is a standout. Do not attempt the Steak McGriddle, somehow the combination of the weird little processed "steak" and whatever noxious chemicals they use to emulate syrup produce this incredibly off-putting aftertaste.

The cajun McCrispy is just the normal McCrispy with a different sauce and McDonalds' not so great bacon. I think the sauce is pretty good though. Would order again.

Nikumatic posted:

the prophecy was foretold; my partner wanted the steak bagel yesterday so i tried the steak English muffin and used a deal to get a free chicken mcgriddle but instead they also gave me steak and egg on the mcgriddle. and then my partner wanted another steak bagel today so i tried the steak on the biscuit.

verdict: English muffin is the best way to have the steak and egg, but they did not toast the muffin like they do on the sausage and I think if you get/request the toasted muffin it is an a+ breakfast. the biscuit is also buttery and delicious with the grilled onions. as said above, steak on McGriddle is just weird; I didn’t hate it but it didn’t elevate the sweet and savory elements like you want it to. you can never really go wrong with the classic bagel but the density of the bagel always makes the sandwich elements squish out weirdly.

anyway i have now eaten so much terrible breakfast steak.

Tried the cajun bacon mccrispy deluxe and it was way better than I expected. Sucks that it's not part of the mccrispy deals in the app, all of them except that one are included.

You dismally untalented little creep!

I downloaded the McD app for the first time and previously never kept track of how much ala carte menu prices were because I eat McD very infrequently. Anyway, I was playing with the McD app and a Big Mac and large fry is $10.54 and a Big Mac meal with large fry is $10.19? How the gently caress long has this been a thing?

Like 2 years at least it's nuts.

The only thing I get there is 2 chickens for 3 bucks or 2 double cheese for 3.50.

I don't buy their fries or drinks anymore.

McD's app pricing is done by putting on a blindfold and throwing darts. It's not uncommon to see a 40 piece nugz be more expensive than a 40 piece with two large fries. Sometimes adding a piece of cheese to something costs .40, sometimes it costs over a dollar. For a company that I'm sure his ran head to toe by analysts designed to wring every penny out of a consumer, poo poo makes no sense on the regular.

Good point. I have two locations nearly the same distance away in different directions and for McD A) buying ala carte Big Mac and large fry is $0.35 more than the meal and McD B) ala carte is actually $1.21 cheaper. I didn't realize things were this complicated.

And that image of price increases is wild for the nuggets. I expect 4 piece price per nugget to be greater than the 10 piece nugget, but since they're the same product in different quantities I would expect the price to scale roughly the same for each because there isn't much of a resource cost difference. But I suspect they scale the 10 piece greater and keep the 4 piece cheaper for marketing reasons. Maybe to justify it as an add on item or keep it affordable for people feeding their kids. poo poo sucks.
