16 Dollar Big Mac meal infurates
16 Dollar Big Mac meal infurates

I just read on social media and a few right wing websites that a Big Mac meal costs 16 dollars. Wait a minute. I just went to McDonalds. It's 9.69 here where I live and don't know if it's some sort of classy place where people pay with 100 dollar bills. Isn't this the problem? It's an oblivious hyperbole that can easily be refuted in reality. I guess inflation is a problem but so is misrepresentation. Just my soap box and it's even cheaper with the app that got preloaded to my cellphone. Of course that is a whole other conversation but I'll leave it at that. By the way, buy local.

A QP with cheese combo where I'm at is $13 and some change for a medium.
The food is consistent across the Country, but the prices, not so much.

I can buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $2.50 per pound. Chicken dark meat pieces for $1.50 / pound.Monderegal » 26 Nov 2023, 7:55 pm » wrote: ↑ I just read on social media and a few right wing websites that a Big Mac meal costs 16 dollars. Wait a minute.

A 5 pound bag of potatoes for $2.50
1 gallon of milk for $3
But leave it to some Lazy Libtard to try and convince me that paying $10 for some McDONALDS INDUSTRIAL CONVEYOR BELT DRIVEN HOG SLOP is a great value.....!
Do they pass out FREE VACCINES with every HAPPY MEAL too...?

I see the filet of fish sandwhich. Looks kind of pathetic. I could buy of box of fish like that.. for about 1 buck a piece. If you buy the better ones. Like Gortons. Not bad.
Same thing with breaded chicken from the grocery store. Huge bag for 8 bucks. Why buy those chicken nugget things from there?
waste of money on that fast food junk.
You need a double hamburger- just to get the same amount of meat- if you made one at home!

Cyndi..what do all the Libtards who are too lazy to cook for themselves have better to do with their free time other than getting stoned and then playing video games and then virtue signaling on TicTok...?

You think after tax over $10's for a burger, fries, small beverage isn't pricing themselves out of business? Is the meat over 3 ounces for the combined two all beef patties, 16 fries, small drink mostly ice?Monderegal » 26 Nov 2023, 7:55 pm » wrote: ↑ I just read on social media and a few right wing websites that a Big Mac meal costs 16 dollars.

Here's a hint. Be careful how you act at a hospital too. Just saying.

It's called the Big Mac index in economics.

This has nothing to do with the fact that in some parts of this Country, a Big Mac combo is $15-$20... and that's not hyperbole as you've suggested.Monderegal » 27 Nov 2023, 9:32 am » wrote: ↑ https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/ ... y-country/

McDonalds can go **** themselves. Their profit margins are sky high. I won't make them rich. And they have changed. Their food sucks. Let the *** have Micky D's.

That's why they are cheap in China.
