The Great Depression Is Back No One Can Afford McDonald's.

Dive deep with us as we uncover why grabbing a Big Mac at McDonald's is not as wallet-friendly as it used to be. From a shocking $18 Big Mac in Connecticut to a burger that hasn’t decayed in 30 years, we explore how inflation and economic pressures are reshaping our fast food experiences. This video unpacks the viral outcry, digs into economic impacts on consumers, and reveals health concerns that might make you rethink your next fast food meal.

I know a lot of people love mcdonlads, but in my opinion, I won't shade a tear if they disappear forever. I'm just saying

McDonald's no longer wants to be budget friendly fast food for families with kids. Their food is now way too expensive. By changing their brand to more adult choices, they hope to stay competitive with high end restaurants. It's pathetic.

.Went to McDonald's this morning. Order two sausage muffins. No one in line in front of me or behind me. 6 employees standing around in the production area.And they want me to pull around to the front of the store to wait for my sandwiches. WTF If I wanted curbside service I would've gone to Sonic.

One Mcdonalds meal around me costs as much if not more than some sit down restaurants, and especially at lunch it is NOT a fast experience. I have no idea why so many still go there.

Wendys was $19.23. Triple Baconator combo. That was it. No more.

As someone from Canada, living in the US now, the menu is drastically different in terms of choices for food options, and in Canada, McDonald's shows where their products come from (Beef from Alberta, Potatoes from P.E.I., Chicken from Saskatchewan by Tyson) I don't understand why that isn't done in the US, also the Canadian menu's have more healthier choice options, and tastes overall different from the US. That said the prices in Canada are higher than that of the US, a recent trip to a Canadian McDonald's for 3 adults, all having a large combo meal was $54CAD, it's not just the US with the higher ridiculous prices.

I stopped going a burger joints after i found that, a 10 dollar pizza sold right next door to McDonald, s relieves hunger way better than 10 dollar burger meal.

McDonald’s has its own farms that grow and raise everything they make. They have a huge advantage over other restaurants. Much lower costs. It is greed that will kill them"…….

I bet the same people complaining about fast food costs, would gladly pay thousands for a Taylor Swift concert or a trip to Disneyworld.

I can add my 2 cents 2006 I worked at a McDonalds after roofing season was over. Became great friends with the Official Assistant Manager. He let me rent the basement in he place. 1 day at the restaurant, he pulled the MSDS "Material Safety Data Sheet" binder for the foods ingredients. He pulled out the ingredients for the regular ONE PIECE OF PAPER. THE PAPER WAS PRINTED WITH THE OLD TYPEWRITER STYLE FONT, THE PAPER WAS FILLED TOP TO BOTTOM ON BOTH SIDES. CHEMICALS I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT IS LITERALLY A CHEMISTRY BURGER Rule of thumb, if a stay animal won't eat the food you leave out, then that is telling you how bad it is!!

Costco food court is still to its core a true value.

When you eat, McDonald’s, it reverses your tastebuds when you cook your burger at home and fries don’t taste the same.

California's mean income just hit $87K +. We can afford it, we don't eat that garbage! 😅

[raymondlin]

20$. I can buy more fresh food with that, kinda. And I should say, I'd rather buy fresh food with 20$

[davogee]

Forget McDonald's. I want to know where I can get a gourmet meal for $18!

[johnbowen]

This video made me want a burger and fries. About to go to Kroger and get a pound of Bison and grill a few burgers

[derickm]

I used to have a Big Mac meal ones a year, i would clean my calendar for the rest of the day because i was bound to feel like crap after. So, thank you McDonald's for raising prices, i was struggling paying $12 for a stomach ache and will never pay $18.

I've gotten tired of smashed cheeseburgers and green egg Mcmuffins... I won't spend another dime with them. There are better options out there, and some of them still actually care about quality.
