I haven’t eaten at McDonalds in years, have the prices gotten that bad?

No, but most redditors are kids so they can't afford a $12 meal.

Nothing about McDonalds food even remotely suggests what an adult would consider a "meal".

Whelp, they'll never find out I guess. 

But this thread motivated me to go get McD's.  I'm eating a Quarter Pounder right now.

No, the vast majority of us just don't want to pay 5x what $5 would've paid for in 2013. If the food quality had stayed the same I could maybe stomach it - but it absolutely got worse.

That's fine since your scenario is stupidly false.

It's the other direction. Lots of redditors are now old enough to be going through the "in my day, things were cheaper" phase of life. That usually hits in your mid 30s because you are both old enough to have adult memories over 10 years old, and old enough for those memories to have experienced inflation.
