It's not even that to me. I haven't had McDonald's in 4 years. I'll go home and make a PB and J before I stop there. I'd stop at a gas station and get a prepacked sandwich before mcds lol

On a roadtrip we were in the middle of nowhere and stopped through the drive thru and everyone got a unHappy Meal.

For like $6 a person you get:

  • 6 nuggets (which were fine)

  • a cup of ice with a shot of Coke in it

  • 7ish french fries

  • a bag of apples floating in chlorine?

  • a chunk of plastic “toy” that literally does nothing besides take centuries to break down in a landfill.

Forgot to beg for my fries instead of apples, and they didn’t ask. Was a really disappointing $20ish spent for 3 people.

Yeah one of those frozen prepack burgers at a gas station is like twice as big and I think like 3 bucks. The microwave is free. Or one of those frozen burritos, or a hot dog. Literally anything a gas station has would have a better cost to taste ratio. I'm unsure why anyone eats McDonald's at all still. Even as a desperation you have better choices than mcds lol

The food at QT and WaWa surpassed McD’s years ago. I downright have cravings for QT Tornadoes and hot dogs.
