A viral social media video about a $25 McDonald's "deal" recently sparked an online debate about California's minimum-wage increase.
A TikTok user who posts videos under the username @shannon_montipaya shared the video on March 27. She was in the drive-thru of a Southern California McDonald's location when she saw a sign for a 40-piece Chicken McNugget meal deal, which also included two large orders of fries.
The price of the meal bundle was $25.39 — including sales tax, it would come to roughly $27. In the video, the social media user lamented that the meal didn't even include a drink.
"OK, so it's $25.39 for 40-piece nuggets and two large fries," she said. "You couldn't even throw in the Sprite? You couldn't even throw in, like, a medium Sprite in there? Holy crap."
While the meal is designed to serve four people, it demonstrates how prices at the fast-food chain have risen over the years. A recent study by FinanceBuzz found that McDonald's prices have increased by 100% since 2014.
Ten years ago, the average price of a 10-piece McNugget meal was $5.99. Now, the meal usually goes for $10.99.

I remember the days when one could get a Big Mac, a small fries, a drink, and get change back from a buck...
I predict that California will screw itself up and the rest of us, through our Federal Government, will bail them out.
I honestly don’t know what people are bitching about. It says serves 4, I’d probably say more like 3, but really show anywhere you can feed 2 for $25, it’s actually a good deal. Stop whining.
California always votes democrat what could go wrong.
Yuck!! What’s wrong with his left hand??
