      I thought I was CRAZY. I tried the $5 burrito hack on a take out order and was mildly unimpressed. It’s ok in a pinch but for 50 cents more I’ll get way more food at McDonald’s. My wife went in and ordered it on a different day and they gave her SIGNIFICANTLY more food. Like double. In that scenario it’s definitely worth it.

        hearing people say “get way more food for $5.50 (total) at McDonald’s” is wild

        in Canada, a jr chicken (mchicken equivalent? it’s been a while) is $4. used to be a good value. not anymore

            Same

            Don’t forget all the other restaurants that are screwing us blue.

            Taco Bell adheres to the 12.72% year over year inflation rate because why not?

          Two mcchickens or a mcchicken and McDouble are only $5 in most areas.

          One regular mcchicken on its own is like 3.79 (California, but I travel a lot and it’s sorta consistent).
