As the years go by a dollar buys less, which in this case is a good thing.

Crap for only a dollar is still a dollar for crap. BINGO!!! The processed crap that McDonalds pedals is not something that people need to eat very often. Perhaps the customer base which averaged the highest average ticket is beginning to figure this out. When that happens, they are left with customers that average $2 to $4 per order and sales will tumble. The dollar menu, IIRC, used to be intended as a loss leader - to feed the $5 to $8 tickets filled with more profitable items on the order. Now they are making the $1 menu a profit center. Think about how lousy the food quality has to be in order to produce it for under a buck?!?!

Crap for only a dollar is still a dollar for crap.Yes. I don't understand how people can eat that junk. Dead taste buds, I guess.
