McDoonolds

I remember growing up, being able to go to McDonald's on Sunday or Wednesday and get like a whole big bag of burgers/cheeseburgers with $5 because they were 29-39 cents each.

- Seems like it's from the 50s or 60s; but this was the 90s!
  (Though... Shit. I am still old enough to be a grandpa 😩)
I was 17 in 1998 when they started this promo. We had hockey practice the same day as the hamburger deal. My friend/teammate would borrow his mom's minivan and we'd pile 6 of us and all our gear into a Ford Windstar. After practice it stunk so bad, we'd roll down every window we could, which wasn't any behind the front row. We would hit up the McDonald's drive-thru on the way home and buy as many burgers as they would sell us. The maximum was 20, which always seemed crazy when we initially hefted the heavy bag into the van and started passing it to the back row. Turns out 6 teenage boys have no problem putting down 3-4 of those dinky burgers and we rarely had leftovers, just piles of wrappers that never all made it back into the bag. The nostalgia of digging through piles of paper, trying to find the last burger at the bottom of the bag is something I haven't thought about in years. Thanks for reminding me!
I remember that. My dad would get bags of them and put them in the freezer. I eventually got so sick of eating those shitty burgers.
I used to play sports in the summer, and hit Mcdonalds for $1 burgers on the Valu Meal with $1 any size drinks in the summer.
Holy god
- MacDonald's cheap fried food was a large contributor to America's obesity epidemic.

So recently, McDonald's came out with their "Minecraft Movie" meals - kinda like a happy meal, but it came with a whole-ass Big Mac. I find this so funny because essentially, they're admitting that they've shrinkflation'd their food so badly that their flagship burger is now so small, it's suitable for kids who are young enough to want the Minecraft theme and toys!!

Went for the first time in probably 5 years the other day. 15 freaking dollars just for me. Ridiculous. I'll just keep going to my local burger place for that price

for 15 bucks you can get 2 double doubles from in and out. Or a tripple from whataburger. Or an actually good burger from a bar with a grill.
I went for nostalgia too. It's like 20 bucks for a combo now in Canada!!!! It's wild.

And here I am, having not eaten McDonald's in years because it tastes like shit.

hunger is the best seasoning.
It's been a long time since I've been in a mc d's, but when I used to frequent them it was because there weren't other options around. I do fondly remember their anus burger as being moderately palatable to my (at the time) minimum wage worker self. I'm sure if I tried it again today I'd vomit. These days I prefer my greasy burger fix from bars, I know it will be good because they can't stay in business with bad food.
- anus burger
  🤨

I get that reference.
- I don't

My roomate got 40 chicken nuggets for 10 dollars. Still seems like an alright deal to me but I don't eat fast food much so I don't really know what is a good price

Edit: just saw kolanaki's comment wtf

You can get massive bags of basically the same thing from a frozen food chain for £10, legit 100 nuggies in a bag.
McDonalds is dogshit value.
- Damn, crazy how cheap meat can get
And this is the comment that made me notice i havent seen amything from kolanaki, and in fact can't see anything from them newer than like, february. Weirdness.
Edit: ah. Instance ban from blahaj.zone
Yeah, things are weird today. Back in the day getting the meal deal numbers 1 through whatever seemed to get you the best price. Now I cant remember the last time I just picked the number to order. With the apps and other deals they set up, they make us go through hoops to get somewhat decent pricing. App normally offers free fry and they run the pick 2 where 2nd is a dollar and you can choose a double cheeseburger, 6 piece nug, or small fry. So for around $4 you can get a 12 piece or a 6 piece and a double cheese. Not the worst deal for $4. Oh also being flexible about what you want helps, but also sucks.

And they taste worse than they used to as well.

All he really wanted was the Happy Meal toy.
