    Basically, shitty fast food flew too close to the sun and realized no one wants to pay $15 for a big mac meal.

    It’s a GOOD THING we don’t Tax Corporations or Raise Wages! If we did they would get rid of their DOLLAR MENU that used to be a thing back when Minimum Wage was still $7.25!

    These came out in Canada a few months ago without any marketing that crossed my eyes or ears. At least an economical McDouble.

    But it didn’t arrive here as a new thing, it became the McDouble meal. The first time I thought it was an error - small fries, small drink. Shit happens. But shit kept happening. So I started to get mad at shrinkflation. But every time I’d order something else, like a Big Mac it would be normal.

    So yeah. Now that I know, it’s a great option, though I think they could spare a medium beverage while still keeping a low price. But when I didn’t know I thought I was getting the shaft and was, you know, seeing other restaurants.
