McDonalds struggling

The ingredients for McDonald's fries in the UK are: Potatoes, oil, dextrose, salt

The fries are cooked in a non-hydrogenated blend of rapeseed and sunflower oil, making them vegan-friendly.

McDonald's fries in the US have more ingredients than those in the UK, including canola oil, corn oil, soy bean oil, natural beef flavor, dextrose, salts, and sodium acid pyrophosphate.

In most of the countries that are opposed to Israel there is a boycott of McD's. Their outlets are very quiet in those countries.

People round here (NW FL) support Israel, but all the Maccie's are very quiet.
 
I've seen Americans complain about the price of food at McDonalds for a while now, saying it isn't an affordable destination anymore. I can't remember the exact prices I've heard quoted, but it's considerably more expensive than in the UK. Something like £10 just for a burger if my memory serves me well.

I've not eaten one of their meals for a few years now. I always found their offerings to be in the 'not shit' section of food availability. OK nosh, nothing more and nothing less. They fulfilled an acceptably low level of expectation, but they were consitent in what they served.
 
Last burger I had was after the villa LC final, we were starving, it was late, nothing else was open so it tasted great.

Since then, I've had probably 5/6 breakfasts there.

I have a mate who works for them who is adamant that they've not changed the hash brown coating mix.....always seems bland now.

Wouldn't be missed if they went pop in the UK.

Strange thing is abroad the quality they produce (Denmark, Germany, Latvia, even holiday areas of Spain) is much better than the shit they produce here. It's almost as though they know they can get away with a substandard expensive product in Britain.

$5.99 for a Big Mac (£4.61 at current exchange rates).

Airports can be more expensive.

When it comes to the price of food, Americans have been ridiculously isolated from the global reality for decades. Only now are they finally catching up with the rest of the world and they don’t like it.

Americans are used to “promotional pricing” and, due to the pandemic, companies have used inflationary pressures to raise prices.

Now, as things seem to have stabilized, even those promotional prices have been set higher than ever. Recently, the major burger chains have reinstated a $5 deal, but they’re not the famous/favorite deals of the past.

With one of the presidential candidates telling people how bad things are, it’s not helping with the perception of the MAGAts!
 
They're trying to open a new branch pretty much right outside my daughter's school, with the help of some very accommodating local councillors, so they can go to hell for all I care. Can't be doing that bad then can they if new branches are still appearing.

Apparently the excess litter, traffic, pollution and antisocial impact studies are all fine, the building is just outside the exclusion zone by a few feet so all good there, and the nation's obesity problem or the school's or kids actual concerns don't count. Money, money, money.
 
12am munchies when getting off the night bus after a session or needing to line the stomach quickly if you finish work and are asked to meet for beer 15 mins after and need a quick nosebag en route


no other reason to visit one or eat the stuff
