It’s the boiling frog problem. Consumers gradually become used to lower quality. 15 years ago, McDonald’s was good. You knew it was bad for you but it was so good that you just didn’t care and it was a great cheat meal. You could get an Angus Delux meal for $7. https://wealthgang.com/mcdonalds-prices-throughout-the-years...

Of course they discontinued the angus burgers that actually used high quality ingredients compared to the McDouble / quarter pounders.

Now it’s $12 for a double quarter pounder meal and it tastes like shit. I only notice this because I just didn’t eat there much in the last 15 years. Meat quality and bun quality has clearly gotten worse. I don’t know how they keep growing sales.

The Big Arch patty is better than the angus was. Their baseline burgers have always been crap.

After the whole debacle with the CEO not wanting to bite into it, I didn’t have high hopes. I’ll have to check it out.
