I know I'm probably 5 time zones behind my own ass, but I just noticed they're dropping the Angus burgers. I find it an insult they console by offering three "new" quarter pounders.

>> No.4550011

nice blog OP

>> No.4550035

I had two of those things. Both times they were surprisingly good for a McDonald's burger, but way above what I'd pay for them. They kind of reminded me of the burgers you'd get at A&W.

yea the angus wasnt bad for mcdonalds. as long as you scraped the 3 pounds of mayo off of the bun.

Thanks to Obama the price of beef is skyrocketing. They need to either decrease portions of beef or raise prices, neither move will be popular

McManager here.

Anyone remember the Big Exxtra?

It had the same fate as the angus burger.

Special meat for a special burger that is over priced and isn't anything special.

Why not use the quarter pounder as the base for a bunch of new sandwiches?

Genius!

Its obama's insistence that corn should be used for fuel instead of food (started by Bush but enthusiastically continued by Obama) that is the basis of this problem. This has lead to the price of feed going way up which massively increases the cost of raising cattle

not as many as there are energy substitutes

you clearly have a poor grasp on this issue

Corn is less efficient at making fuel that a very large number of alternatives, meanwhile meat is delicious and far tastier than any alternative

You are crying about an increase in beef prices due to corn fuel incentives, yet you seem to be oblivious to the other subsidies that keep food prices overall lower than their true market value.

>> No.4550220

>>4550212
those are not mutually exclusive, I am opposed to both. The food subsidies you speak of are not related to the thread though so of course I didn't bring them up

government doing one thing badly does not excuse another bad practice

>> No.4550234

>>4550220
But you are complaining about the government creating a modest increase in beef prices without acknowledging their part in keeping overall food prices down.

You have to discuss both sides if you are going to complain.

Because complaining is all they can really do. They allowed a system that lets a few people pass retarded laws and burn though money like no tomorrow. But now they can't undo it, because of how the system is set up.

> What is up with Americans and complaing about everything.

I didn't mention price, just that I enjoyed the Angus burgers and it sucks they are gone. They kicked off a new generation of burgers in a menu that was, and now is, stale as fuck. It brought:

1. Red onions, not the rehydrated shit
2. Burger patty that didn't have the texture of pureed beef
3. Fucking mushrooms by god
4. Swiss cheese
5. Bun that actually had flavor and texture
6. A hamburger (mushroom) that didn't have a bunch of mayo and shitty sweet condiments (ketchup, mac sauce) to cover up the fact it had no taste.
7. A suitable place to put some bacon

Now we're back to the fake-tasting patties (mac, quarter pounder, dbl cheeseburger) that's all smooshy and drips weird beefwater when you bite into it.
