OK, so you guys showed me McDonald's jacked prices at least 130% on the core budget item: the mcchicken. Mentally recalculating McDs as "literally more than twice as expensive is a doozy, sure but what I really wanna know: did they do any shrinkflation on top of that to really wring out the margin? Smaller patties, cups, fries, cheese or something? Or was it all just pure price action?

The nugs are legit 50% smaller - sad state of nugget affairs at the Golden Arches

Impeachable offense.

Facts 😂

Offense is confident you have won the game of American football to my understanding. Anyone have any ideas how to win in offense against ocala police departments? I literally got a ride home and the ocala police departments jeep drove right in front of us with their headlights so they always know where I am and when I get off work. They were mad that my schedule changed from 3rd to 2nd. They're still stalking me with no communication from @ssnowen

That might be saving lives. LoL

McDonald’s price hike on the McChicken is no joke, but the real question is, did they secretly shrink the patty size while they were at it, trying to sneak it past us? 🍔💰🕵️‍♂️

I don’t know any specifics but I suspect the “quality” of their “food” is significantly poorer than it used to be.

Oh man, that's insightful. I overlooked entirely the possibility that they could keep a patty the same size and weight, but change the gruelpaste/additive/filler ratios on anything not advertising-locked as "100% real beef" or whatever. Hell, even the definition of "beef" these days may have loopholes.

I believe their Patty's are all 100% beef? Or am I mistaken? I've heard their chicken is also of highest quality. A friend of mine did a Consulting job at the chicken provider for mcd in my country and said mcd gets too quality batch first, then the big supermarkets get whatever is left.

From what I understand the McDonald’s menu varies by country. I would not be surprised if you are outside of the USA and getting better quality meats than us.

Actually, I learned that mcd has 100% beef from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak (who resides in the US from what I know?)

He told me he sometimes goes to mcd and orders a stack of Patty's for a full fledged carnivore meal 😁

Hmmmm maybe, I’d be surprised though

Yes my thoughts exactly. I am also noticing at least here in the US, the term “Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients” is quietly popping up on ingredient labels of food packaging at a rapid pace. Fiat food is rampant in America.

Hope to hear from you again on the U.S. podcast circuit. Been awhile!

Aaa man… where u go? Whatssamata u? Come back.

And the "100% beef" is actually hormones, antibiotics and mRna vaccines. Time to go veggie (but, of course, they'll poison them too.)

there's always the economic wild card (in terms of a mcchicken): avian flu

not only price is higher but the thickness of the patty and quality is all shit. its not only McDs but everything and everywhere.

I'm not sure man, I know I went there recently here in the states and was appauled by the jacked prices, here where I live a big Mac is over $8!! And there was like 100 people in the building. Never going back, Wendy's is better (and cheaper) anyway.

Can’t prove it quantitatively, but for sure.

It's not only inflation now we struggle, it's bloating ⭕

(And WinZip'ing products 😂)

I double mcds are good chain anyway. All that it provides is toxic

More carbs in the “meat.”

it’s all a game 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

the exact same thing happening to our $20 bills

They went from 50% chicken anus and labia to 100%.

I thought they were making it worse?

Is when I'm losing blood or peeing in my pants because I can't use a bathroom.

The people are saying Big Macs are getting smaller.

Now it's just a mac

Next year it'll be the Lil Mack.

Well, Snowden, you can enjoy Vkusno & To4ka!!! Cheaper and better!!!

I'm interested to know if the product varies between countries too. Is a US big mac the same thing as a Japanese big mac?

not at all. JP and CH are far superior to all other countries I've tried.

It was a long time ago, but when I lived in JP, the McD's were always top shelf compared to the standard suburban ones back home. And they had a local specialty — Shaka Shaka Chicken — that was great

Any objections to that, Me Snowden?

For people!

Wow! "Big Mac" was actually big back in the day

Shrinking items, yes & God knows what sort of fillers they added as well

Yes, all the ex dollar menu sandwiches (mcchicken, cheese burguer) have smaller patties…

In Portugal it seems that it weighs 50gr at most

The responses to this 😂

Yeah everything is getting smaller exept my #bitcoin stack and #nostr frenzz

I haven't been to a McDs since COVID because they just can't run a drive through anymore. I honestly don't know how they stay in business.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Other cost saving measures I’ve seen at all our local McDonald’s:

- cash registers not manned and ordering kiosks are the preferred way to order now

- no more drink machines in dining area, so you have to ask for refills at the counter (which is sparsely staff due to the ordering kiosks)

- no condiments or napkins available in dining area, so you have to ask for them at the counter.

Even in Dollar General, and gas stations across the US there are now self serve cash registers..

In other words, shoplifting is encouraged lol

Meanwhile Culver's is the EXACT opposite. All of the above and you can't spit without hitting an employee 🤣

Do you're saying McDonald's prices are going down if you're measuring them in sats?

😆

When #bitcoin was $64,400 (11/12/2021) that was 12,951,990 pesos here in Argentina (1 USD = 200 pesos) Today #BTC is around $36,594 and that’s around 34,764,300 pesos (1 USD = 950 pesos).

#McDonalds #Argentina #inflation

Nov-21 499 pesos $2,50 3,882 sats

Today 5250 pesos $5,52 15,078 sats

That's both very interesting & sad (for your people) at the same time.

Are you seeing interest in Bitcoin increasing now that we're coming out of the Bitcoin bear market?

I know that Argentinians generally prefer USD but they'd also be acutely aware of the problems with fiat currencies. Just looking for a pulse check (your feeling) among your family & friends).

Unfortunately nobody around me likes #bitcoin (family, friends) they think #btc is too volatile and they don’t have money to risk, they prefer to buy dollars as a store of value, put their Argentine pesos in a fixed-term deposit (around 295% APY), or buy durable goods, as a way to lose less. I know people who works for others countries that prefer stablecoins (usdt, dai, usdc)

The interest will come in time & I'm sure that they will know where to go when they need their questions answered.

I sometimes position bitcoin as a 4 year fixed term deposit with variable exit fees & huge interest potential. I'm not sure how successful it is 😆

Good luck friend & thank you for responding to my questions 🙏🧡

Thank you! And you are welcome!

I eat out a lot and the shrinkflation I have been seeing, in all restaurants since covid hit, is simply redonkulous. It's the most constant topic of conversation at our mealtimes, which items we discover that very day that have fewer items or smaller portions for the same price. It's absolutely constant now.

I haven't touched a big mac in years, but if they are even 50% of the size that they used to be I can guarantee you that most of their weight is strictly cheap additives somehow. Probably cancer-causing additives, too. They just stopped caring last year.

Bruh you gotta ask for napkins now

Bro you gotta ask for ketchup. And they hand you like 4 packets! I'm like "bitch I ordered 4 meals with fries this is not gonna cut it". The fries suck now too so you need to drench them in ketchup. The only reason I keep coming back to this god forsaken restaurant is the indoor playground and my own weak will to resist the anguished wails of children who were just told "no".

I'm not bitter

at all

😆😆😆

the inability of grown men to say no to children is a really sad state of affairs for the quality of the next generation, they are all being spoiled like fuck, most of them are probably end of line, and will just burn the place down.

I got it from Anna's archive and then zapped the equivalent of sats. 🤐

Great example of de-intermediation.

I wish I didn’t care about my health for a day and would get to enjoy a McDouble guilt free.

A little bit of both. Shrinkflation can only hide real inflation for so long

Did they increase prices 130% gradually or immediately?

Shrinkflation has been taking place secretly for decades

Probably same size, just cheaper ingredients.

This reminds me of a scene in one our czech movie (U mě dobrý) about early 90's, after iron curtain fell. Dad is watching young people strike in front of first McDonald's in Prague: "My grandpa fought the nazis. My dad and I fought commies. And who is their enemy? Ground meat."😀

Apple pie is at least 50% smaller

McDonalds can't set prices, the market does. McDonalds doesn't create more dollars, the Federal Reserve does. Thank you, McDonalds, for your better-than-gas-station restrooms, and for adapting to the changing conditions that are outside your control. The same is true for other food providers.

McD's is the market leader by far. They can and do set prices, even when inflation was low.

Egg McMuffin meal is $14 now smh shit is not real

WENDY'S CHICKEN IS BETTER

FIGHT ME

In order to feel satiated, I started adding extras to my orders. I now average 4-5 beef pasties, and 3-4 slices of cheese per Big Mac or cheeseburger meal.

Exhibit A:

Shrinkflation would be a good thing! It’s high time portions get right-sized to combat the obesity epidemic.

Yooo. They do have the old dollar menu at buy one get one for 1$. So the old dollar menu on that price only went up about 60c. I ain't gonna complain.

Subway shrank their cookie. The worker was showing my the old cookies and the new cookies the day they changed em.

Pure price boost, looks like…

Wut is chickum nugget?

Tend to avoid McDonald's as much as possible. Haven't been to one in many years.

Edward are you there? In America they are overly posting about veterans and I get nothing because the civil war I'm in doesn't count when it's clearly a war and everyone knows it. Thank you for your service and for being my protective bodyguard I can only imagine getting to meet you in person.

There's obviously a map of who I contact what location I contact them from but it only matters in the street again not from where I am living like contacting Michael caine near a church or sheriffs dept street letting cops drive by with red and blue lights

At least the cops actions are proving that I'm not crazy and that they are harassing me and stalking me but I don't believe it will stop until it gets worse that's just the way it is. Also look at fbi report on Indianapolis Bank robbers getting 12 and a half years on parole you know I'm mad as hell and there are numbers 2 and 4

The quantity here doesn't matter, what's inside is more important!

You can engage with whomever you want. I will just point out that you are arguing for more french fries or "...cheese or something". You are approaching a certain age where you should be happily paying a fortune for smaller higher quality portion sizes.

i know the answer, and the answer is yes.

hard to think they only did price increases and not also shrinkflation. lowers calories, improves nutrition labeling too!

I will say they do offer these app coupons now. then again they had coupons back then too. stop the coupons and lower prices for all

The time we've been anticipating has finally arrived.
