[–] foggy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (4 children) You can bet McDonald's is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal. They've done mcrib, celeb deal, Minecraft movie promo, and now chicken strips are back. Yeah. Red flags. They're desperate. Their current '2nd item for $1' is an ok deal right now. But this makes me think that won't last. 2 sausage muffins and 2 hash browns for like $7. Throw some hot picante salsa on there and you have deal. Without that deal? It's like $13. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah but how many years ago was it that an order of hash browns used to have two?? They’re just “giving a deal” on what used to be the baseline. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foggy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Oh I'm not disagreeing. It's shit. But even without the has browns, two sausage muffins for ~$3.50 is solid. It's what I expect. Sadly it's the bottom barrel best deal going. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) That actually is solid, I might even consider it as that was my go to breakfast item back in the day! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Yep! Adding a hashbriwn to each for ~$2.50 + $1.00 more is what makes it ~$7. And for two sausage, hash brown, spicy salsa and cheese muffins? I mean damn. But yeahz seeing all these promos makes me know this is in the cutting block. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago They even stopped selling McHash in Sweden like over a year ago. The only thing that I'd have any desire to eat from their breakfast menu, and they kill it. I even asked their support why they killed it, and I got no real explanation. I thought that it's maybe to be able to clean out their deep fryer? Nah, as they still sell normal french fries during breakfast! permalink fedilink source parent [–] entwine413@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I think the McRib is just dependent on pork prices. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Nope. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pycorax@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago You can bet McDonald's is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal. Is this an American thing? In Japan and Singapore, they have seasonal limited specials every month or so. It's not really a "when they're doing badly" kinda thing. permalink fedilink source parent
