McDonald's reported a surprise drop in sales worldwide on Monday (Jul 29), its first decline in 13 quarters, as deal-seeking consumers shy away from higher-priced menu items, including Big Macs. Persistent inflation has forced lower-income consumers to shift to more affordable food options at home. That ha
They can’t grow anymore, so they had to ramp up the prices to continue to please shareholders.
Next will be a certain decline in quality, like more air in bread (“fluffier bread”) and nuggets and more water in the meat (“juicier”) and shakes, maybe they’ll even remove the free refill stuff.
Lol, McDonald’s doesn’t have shakes. Sure, it’s on the menu, but you need ice cream for shakes, and the ice cream machine is broken
Boy! Just imagine some super fluffy ice-cream! (You make it fluffier by - you guessed it - pockets of air)
Look at old labels of your favourite ice cream tray. The amount of liquid is the same, but it sure as heck is lighter.
There’s already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.
The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.
I know it’s all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe… And now I can’t stand them but at least I’m losing weight so that’s good haha
