Maccas have lost the plot.
Pretty sure they haven't. It's called business. They've determined they can increase prices (and quality) and noticed that demand remains high or even possibly increases. Unfortunately, that's the demand and supply aspect of a capitalist market.
McDonalds' image has changed recently too. What used to be budget cheap nasty grease food is actually now more readily accepted as part of a balanced diet. Times change.
readily accepted as part of a balanced diet.
Because of marketing. BTW, "balanced diet" is a term invented by marketing, you don't balance out good food with bad food, the bad food still kills you if you consume good food. The bad food has drug like, addictive effects that come with consuming a torrent of refined carbohydrates, whereas good food does not.
The reality is a diet like this causes early death at higher rates than smoking.
Pretty much. Only time I go to Maccas is when there's the specials on. Otherwise it's KFC
yeah because the mcflurry is already melted when you order it on uber eats normally, so lets add some hot stuff on top to make it even worse, genius shit right there. also the bastards always either forget my nuggets or the nugget sauce whenever i get it on uber eats.
The McFlurry’s vanilla soft serve ice cream will be topped with pieces of apple pie and warm caramel sauce.
Doesn't seem bad. But I won't buy it anyway. Too expensive ($4.70) and too unhealthy.
I tried to order this at McDonalds just a month ago - they told me that it couldn't be done.
Instead they suggested I buy the two items, then combine them myself. I had to point out to them that as I was in a car at the drive-through window that wasn't really practical.
Now they can do it all of a sudden???
You're saying McDonald's denied you a special request, and now they have taken it onboard and are offering it - and you've shared your little story and absolute bewilderment? God forbid you can't eat dessert while you drive. Super interesting, thanks for sharing
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I gagged a little bit.
Maccas have lost the plot. They were once good value. A decent price for a known quality of outcome. Now they are very much on the expensive side and the quality is way down. So often I get cold food and it is just a terrible experience. A flurry currently costs like $4.75 …. its been proven to be a couple of ice cream cones in a cup with 50c worth of m&ms, how is that value? I assume they will do the same with this apple pie flurry, take a $1.50 apple pie, $1 of ice cream, put it in a cup and charge $5. KFC all the way
