The refresh includes having thicker bun bases to preserve heat, pieces of onion poured directly onto some of the patties as they cook, and adding more sauce to Big Macs,
Oh sure, just what they needed... More bread and sauce. Fucking gross
I need quality over quantity. It's one of the reasons I rarely go to Olive garden nowadays. If I want fast food Italian, I'll go pickup on olive garden.
If I want a nice dining experience. I go to a local Italian restaurant I know of. (same price, half the food, 10x better quality)
Most of the time I find myself having to season anything I pick up from olive garden.
That's great but a lot of people are doing calorie per dollar calculations.
Let me guess, they’re patriotic Americans so intentionally coming out with a 1/3 pound burger to disprove that apocryphal internet story once and for all. When it takes off, it proves Americans really can do basic math
I believe they currently use CPU tech to make molecular thin beef patties
And it'll be $9 a burger, you watch.
Yup and the staff won't get a penny of that increase. Hell, the materials purchased probably won't cost them more either so it'll just be profit.
Kill yourselves eating the garbage and pay more for it. Ba dap bap bap baaahhh...
the value and the experience of fast food is just not there anymore. some startup is going to disrupt all of this with something so deliciously reasonable soon i hope.
Food is a much harder industry for new tech to disrupt, because no new startup can ever compete with the beef supply chains that McDonalds etc. have established.
It's easy to launch a website to a some online thing. It's much harder to an absurd amount of agricultural products all over the country for cheap.
I was going to make a crack about them inventing a time machine to get Big Macs from like 20 years ago, but I actually kind of wish they'd bring back the angus 1/3rd pounder, those burgers were great.
You wouldn't want the bigger 1/4 pounder?
Rather I want an 1/8 pounder
Guess some executives finally saw WALL-e and saw a goal they should shoot for lol
So are they returning to the original sizes of burgers before shrinkflation?
