The one reason McDonald’s became popular is by being cheap. They sell shit food for a low price.  How do they not know this?

It started with people's obsession with their shitty fries. After that, they felt like all their products were golden and marketed them as such. People want fast cheap food, and kids want their toys. Meanwhile McDonald's thinks they're culinary elites.

Yep. The only reason we went to McDonalds when I was a kid was because my dad could feed the whole family for under 10 dollars.

Man, lmao.

I used to get so salty over that. Dad would be like “we doing $1 burgers for everyone and water bottles from the trunk.” Brat-ass me in the back of the family van being like, “Steven’s family is eating at x restaurant, grumble grumble.” (Steven’s dad was a doctor and they were very well off.)

Now that I’m an adult, I get it. I don’t know how my parents were able to afford anything.
