      No, it’s definitely the new $5 meals that they just rolled out like a month or two ago that are basically priced the same as a Happy meal with a similar amount of food

        The fry company is blaming the meal deals because they come with a small fry instead of a giant one lol

            at least in europe, potatoes aren’t nearly as cheap as they used to be as the changing climate has led to a couple of terrible harvests in a row

            idk if it’s the same in the usa though

            If this is what I think it is, and it really might be, they probably had a predicted profit they didn’t meet and considered it a failure (similar to how dead space 2 was a financial success but didn’t meet the predicted profit and so was deemed a failure and why dead space 3 was made to appeal to a broader audience).

              Yeah, I remember EA saying that if Dead Space 3 didn’t sell 10,000,000 copies then it would be considered a failure

              Which, only shit like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto sells like that

      I was gonna say the fucking fries themselves are more than $5 and they’re cold and soggy by the time they hand you the bag half the time.

    Aren’t many people boycotting McD*nald’s due to the company endorsing Zionism? That will decrease your profits for sure.

      Not inside amerikkka, mena had dropped though (but only like 5 percent). They use locally sourced fries (or at least from europe), so i couldn’t make a case for unlimited bankrupcies on the first world, when i looked into it a week ago

    How is McDonald’s still around? Their response to competition was to cut staff and increase prices. Their food sucks so bad

    Yeah, sure. “The deal is too good! We’re goin’ out of business!” C’mon Mr. Krabs, we’re not falling for this shit or Red Lobster’s.
