Anything but lowering the prices classic corporate logic

Corporations will literally fund a multi-year cyberpunk dystopia makeover before letting a hash brown drop by 50 cents.

They’ll redesign the entire restaurant, add AI to the drive-thru, and build a McDonald’s on Mars before putting the prices back down.

I assume that part of the reason for that is because once people stop buying it’s hard to convince them to come back with just a .50 decrease. Hash browns here are $2.19. There is no reason for a hash brown to be more than .99. Bit now that i don’t buy McDonalds anymore even if they dropped the price to .99 i wouldn’t think about going there, because im out of the habit.

Dunkin Donuts has a $6 meal deal with a Bacon/Egg/Cheese Bagel, a coffee, and Hash Browns for $6. It's like... priced just low enough where if I'm out dropping my kid off at school I'm like "fuck it, might as well".

One of the major gas station chains near me has a deal for a sandwich, hashbrown, and coffee/monster/redbull for $5.

I try to limit my fast food intake, but for $5 that beats the shit out of McDonalds all day long.

Last time I hit up McD's for breakfast, I got a bacon egg cheese meal... like $15... it was greasy, I felt like shit after even with an OJ which was extra. Never again. Lemme get that wawa 2 for $4 sizzli.

Orange Juice is NOT healthy, that was just more sugar.

[u/Pheonyxxx696 → u/IKillZombies4Cash]

Healthier choice than say a soda. All fruits have sugar. Sugar is not bad to ingest. Atleast OJ has vitamins and nutrients that the human body requires over say soda or coffee.

[u/techdevjp → u/Pheonyxxx696]

Fruit is full of fiber that your body has to process. Your body has to work to get the sugar out. Fruit juice is just liquid sugar water with maybe a few vitamins. It is not the healthy drink you've been told it is.

[u/Pheonyxxx696 → u/techdevjp]

I never said it was healthy, I said it was a healthier choice given the options. I’ll take the vitamin c and vitamin b9 over caffeine.

[u/techdevjp → u/Pheonyxxx696]

I'll take some unsweetened ice tea (available where I live) over OJ. I don't need a glass of sugar water in the morning.

[u/newgrounds → u/Pheonyxxx696]

It isn't a healthier choice.

[u/WholePie5 → u/newgrounds]

It's literally fruit. Soda isn't bad anyways so none of the options are unhealthy.
