    McDonald’s used to be a decent fast food choice in France. But nowadays it’s gotten super expensive and the portions are tiny, like the big Mac almost fits the palm of my hand. I’d rather go to any other fast food chain or small kebab joint when I need to scratch that itch before I’d go to McDonald’s again.

      Yeah I hadn’t had their food in a while and we ended up going to one in Lisbon earlier this year. I was really surprised at how small the servings had gotten for what they’re charging. I don’t really understand why anybody would go there at this point. There’s a lot of decent food out there for less money.

          For me it’s the nostalgia hooks they have in me. Every once in a blue moon, I get a craving for McNuggets that nothing else can satisfy. Probably because they’re barely chicken nuggets, and are more of their own thing.

          Ahh yes the old motto “always lie to the customer!” Shrink your product so you can later return to the original and sell for more money, or the good ol Amazon: raise your price for a short time so you can have a “sale” that was the original price…

      Not to forget that they are extremely shitty when it comes to vegetarian options especially compared to Burger King

      I wonder what they did with the Royal’ with Cheese… Technically they could shrink that too since it doesn’t have 1/4 pounder in the name.

        even the ‘quarter-pounder’ has shrunk over the years. there’s more fat ground-in now than there used to be, but same ‘pre cooked’ weight.
