The McDonalds menu strategy is very schizophrenic. They have fantastic value meals for $1 but if you want to stray, a regular meal will set you back $4-$7. It’s like trying to serve the 47% and the 53% at a restaurant that is only considered by the 47% in the first place. They should either be a dollar store or not, but the dollar strategy preys on the regular menu. I would love to enjoy a filet-o-fish but the McDouble is too good to pass up value-wise.

Great - maybe my toddler will have another choice. He likes fried fish but doesn’t usually like to order the Filet-o-Fish sandwich over McNuggets.

Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger.....

a 69-cent hamburger and an 89-cent cheeseburger,”

I don’t get how they can charge only $1 for a burger with cheese and onion given that’s what they now charge for the old burger and w/cheese.

“what kind of meat I am eating.”

A bitty little bit of meat, that’s what.

I like them; but I’m not picky about junk food.

grilled onion cheddar burger. If you plan on returning to work that afternoon be sure to have a jug of mouthwash in the car.

Fish McBites? Uh, no thanks.

I had my gall bladder out several years ago and didn't change my diet in the slightest, including occasional fast foods. Maybe your problem is not your lack of gall bladder...

“Why would they carry an 89-cent cheeseburger? It doesn’t take much math skill to figure out that at $1 a McDouble is a better value.”

Because the cheeseburger is made with a beef paddy, whereas the McDouble is made with cardboard.

“. I would love to enjoy a file-o-fish-———”

That’s the only sandwich I have bought in the last 20 years.

No fries-—they stink.

“makes me healthier, I guess..”

Or, depending on where you are when you eat it... you become a super fast runner or a race car driver.

“Since I lost my gall bladder”
You want us to help you look for it?

My wife said it got better over time.

Egg McMuffins now come to the store frozen

No, they don't.

Are you the same person who claimed that McDonalds shipped tankers full of brewed coffee to their stores and the store just reheated it?

How would they sell anything for less than a buck? Their profit margins are extremely low as it is

Actually, the kind of meet they used then is from an animal now extinct. They’ve moved on to other types of meets now.

The dollar menu has hurt their earnings. McDonalds has increasingly cannibalized its sales by weakening the demand of its higher priced menu items.
