For decades they sold basically real food at cheaper than usual prices...
Then by the early 90s, they began to hollow it all out where you could keep a cheeseburger on a shelf for months and it wouldn't look much different. Then they started removing the amount of actual beef used. And most of the chicken is just like a paste that they form into nuggets or patties.
By 2000s, it was so cheap for them to produce "burgers" that they were able to have sales where you could get a regular cheeseburger for like 30 cents. The dollar menu all looked like it did a decade earlier, it's just that all of these ingredients were replaced to save on cost.
By 2005 or so, the cost began increasing and far outpaced any gain in income.
This happened for a while where today they want to sell you a combo meal for something like $15 in some places, and most of that food is basically just look like food and not even the real thing, despite being priced against places that just take bread, beef and cheese and cook it like you're supposed to.
The whole thing is a scam and McDonald's is a terrible company.
Maybe have the President work the fryer again and see if it boosts sales?
- UncleMeat 1y agoAll chicken nuggets are made with paste. How else are you going to have a formable piece of chicken? Yes, the paste is made of less desirable parts of a chicken with more connective tissue. But that doesn't make it not chicken. People eat beef tendon too.
