I like McDonald’s breakfast, but hate the rest of their food (besides the quarter pounder because it’s real meat)

Breakfast is great, I stop once a week on average. And the app ordering w drive thru pickup is a steal. Love their sausage biscuits, and locally, they're $2.19 but with the app, can order a second for $1.00. Then, there's an app exclusive for other biscuits for $1.50. The bacon egg and cheese biscuit or mcgriddle is my choice (add hot honey at no cost). Normally $4.29. So, for 5 bucks, you get 3 great sandwiches which is breakfast and either 1 or 2 snacks later in the day. Can't beat that.

Out of the big three burger jurnts, I’d probably have a Wendy’s chili before anything else.

Egg McMuffin one of the GOAT.
did you catch the eggs Benedict mcmuffin a few years back? Supposedly that's how it was originally served when the wife of an owner told them to start serving breakfast.

McDonald’s rolled back some of their pricing. Looks like it worked out well for them.

They have had the same food for decades

How is it suddenly selling strong?

I tend to agree with the CEO. Ozempic wont treat a crappy diet.

Turns out there’s a lot of profit to be made in poison modified to taste like it isn’t straight up additives and preservatives filled garbage. Hits the spot when you’re drunk tho.

The food has never been great but at least it was cheap.

Even with the increases I could absolutely afford to eat there but it just isn't good value for the money and is terribly over-processed unhealthy shite.

Haven't been to one in a year or more, and it was a staple in my younger days.

I would disagree, the food has gotten consistently worse over the last several decades.

It was never great, now it is worse and overpriced.

Those earnings gains are based solely on my children’s fixation with McNuggets alone.

I do it a couple times a week.

Breakfast...$5 for a sausage egg McMuffin meal (hash brown and small coffee/coke)

Lunch...$5 value meal. 1 double cheeseburger, 4pc nugget, small fries, and a coke.

I only really eat their breakfast and even then its a bacon biscuit. Anytime I have to do blood work, which isn't often, and I have to fast when I am finished I always go get a bacon biscuit and I actually had to do it in December so that's the last time I went there.. I'd say on average, maybe 6 or 7 times a year.

It’s borderline inedible now. The fries are still good but often over salted. Nothing like spending 15 bucks for garbage food
