Since no one else mentioned it, do you know what a McDonald's meal goes for?

[Walt]

The alt right made a lot about one rare find where a McDonald's meal went for $18, so what is the current price just about anywhere in the country? $5. That is not just a sandwich, fries, and a drink, but they have thrown in McNuggets with that. Burger King has the same basic offer, but with Burger King food.

This along with other price decreases have economists worrying about deflation. Suddenly companies are realizing they would rather make 50 cents of profits on a billion meals than $5 worth of profits on a million meals.

It is a special that they put out because of all the flak they got from raising their prices. Yesterday, two egg mc muffins, two hashbrowns, and a medium coffee was $15.78

That is not the price around here. I guess it might be somewhere, but not most places.

Correct, at the airports that jumps to over $20

Indeed.

Walter is bearing false witness…again.

Not bad, but it's not one of their premium burgers.

McDouble.

Not a Quarter Pounder or a Big Mac.

Small fries, small drink.

Looks like four McNuggets.

The sad part is that is a 1000 calories, which is actually a large meal for most people.

They should be under 10 cents. I wouldnt eat that poison unless I absolutely had to.

 

[ZenMode]

Is the implication that, since McDonald's offers some of their shitty food for $5, that inflation isn't outrageous?

There is no "alt right" except in fairy tails, so are we talking about another fairy tale here?

so what is the current price just about anywhere in the country? $5. That is not just a sandwich, fries, and a drink, but they have thrown in McNuggets with that. Burger King has the same basic offer, but with Burger King food.

Awesome. None of these come with a shake, however, and remain under $5. A meal isn't really a meal without a shake.

This along with other price decreases have economists worrying about deflation.

Nope. No economists are panicking and fearing and fleeing to the hills. You are not an economist and you certainly don't speak for any.

Suddenly companies are realizing they would rather make 50 cents of profits on a billion meals than $5 worth of profits on a million meals.

Since when did you come to believe that you speak for "companies"?
