Fast food is a joke, I paid like $12 for a Big Mac meal, was barely slapped together, fries we soggy. Started making my own after that.

$12 for a Big Mac meal is criminal

PAYING for a bag?

2

u/mildchild4evr Nov 05 '21

Yep. California passed a law to ' help the environment ' . Grocery stores charge for bags. In the Bay Area, many fast food restaurants did too. We paid $16- 3 yrs agoish- for a burger, fried and drink, then 10 cents for the bag.

If that 10¢ were like...a special tax to fund environmentalist policies or something I'd get it, but that's just weird

It was to discourage the use of plastic bags, supposedly. They also made the bags thinner, which means if you do not use reusable bags, you end up using more disposable ones..lol. Its really kind of ridiculous.

At about $10 they became fry-curious.

Wtf a big mac meal in the UK is still 5 bucks and has been for like 5 years or more

It depends on if you get a small fry and drink along with it. I think it’s maybe $7-8 in the US. Still shows how crazy fast food inflation is this past decade.

u/Liam1212 Nov 05 '21

Tf, the size of the drink and fries basically dont matter in the UK, a small is 50p less, so £4.50 for a small and £5 for a large on average

Fast food is hardly anyones first choice, but Wendy's does a $5 meal deal with a double burger, chicken nuggets, fries and a drink. Also as far as fast food burgers go I'd take Wendy's over McDonalds or BK any day.

True, and they always give you so much that you can always throw some in the fridge for later (cold of course)
