Is this a sign of deflation and recession?
I was at the McDonalds and got a breakfast sandwich. With my receipt they give me a slickly put together 4" x 4" paper that says Big Mac and Quarter Pounder for $2 from January 12th to January 28th. Is Mickey Dee's clearing out stale hamburger inventory? Are they trying to drum up business? They always seem to hold the line on their two top selling hamburgers at $3.99. Now they are going for half price. For a limited time only of course
Their response models predict that for this type of offer
the additional revenue they will get from new business and repeat customers
will be greater than
the forgone revenue from the discount.
A couple of months ago i was running late so i picked my dog up a Mcdonalds double cheeseburger, this dog would eat anything and he must of been starving, when i cut it up and put it down he sniffed a few time and walked away.
Even my DOG refused to eat that stuff......
Macy’s laid off 2500 today. Penney’s 3500. Times are good. Thank you comrade Obama.
I think I have been able to improve upon this sandwich.
What I do is fry two eggs for each sandwich over hard and fold them over each other. Then I take two strips of fat bacon per sandwich and fry that. The eggs and bacon get folded into a toasted Thomas' English muffin and is topped off with two "deli slices" of Alpine lace Swiss cheese.
I find that this particular sandwich is considerably tastier than what McDonalds offers.
Makes sense. And being in the biz for many decades, this ain’t their first rodeo.
Sorry. I am a Wendy’s guy. Large iced tea (which is excellent and very large), Junior Bacon cheezburger, and a Double-stack. A bit over $5. Super quality, very satisfying. And, the way that they build them, you can eat everything and not have to eat any of the bun.
I tried McDonalds recently, the burgers are Alpo-grade in comparison.
The McDonald’s Sausage/Egg muffin is good, however.
Their fries suck now too. They're nothing like they used to be.
I went to BK last week and was very unpleasantly surprised. The Big Fish is about half the size of what it used to be, no cheese on the tasteless fish, and the so-called Whopper was a joke. It looked like somebody sat on it before it got to me. I’m not surprised that they’re closing their stores. Their quality has REALLY deteriorated.
And, they have breakfast:
McDonald’s is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
French fries up your nose
Pickles between your toes
McDonald’s is our kind of place
We want our money back
Before we have a heartattack.
no more transfats
Beating the taste of fast food with home made is not that hard to do. As the guy in the pizza commercial says “It ain’t rocket science”.
I’ve made my own Sausage McMuffin’s at home. I also fry two eggs over medium, put them on two slices of toasted bread. Then I put a slice of chedder cheese on each, place two slices of bacon on each, then pop them in the oven until the toast melts. They’re great open-faced sandwiches that I eat with a knife and fork.
17 cents for a cheeseburger.....are ya wintering over well?
Note also that they are getting smacked right now by the rising US Dollar. They have to do something to stimulate business in the US.
That's why they taste like cardboard now.
All of them suck except "Whataburger".
Real food in THEIR drive through.
5 Guys is decent, but no drive through and is not in the same league as "Whataburger"
Animal style!
maybe the clearance inventory has too much toxic chemicals in it?
just kidding of course but
SOMETHING they put in their burgers nowadays causes me to instantly barf them right back up
(and i used to like going there, too)
