$5 meal my brother in christ a big mac meal is like $11 something.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 50 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it's definitely the new $5 meals that they just rolled out like a month or two ago that are basically priced the same as a Happy meal with a similar amount of food

The fry company is blaming the meal deals because they come with a small fry instead of a giant one lol

Jesus fucking christ

Potatoes are cheap as fuck and fries make so much money

[–] Eco@hexbear.net 29 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

at least in europe, potatoes aren't nearly as cheap as they used to be as the changing climate has led to a couple of terrible harvests in a row

idk if it's the same in the usa though

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 21 points 4 weeks ago

Back home if the harvest isn't doing so good they crack open liberal skulls and get them that way

If this is what I think it is, and it really might be, they probably had a predicted profit they didn't meet and considered it a failure (similar to how dead space 2 was a financial success but didn't meet the predicted profit and so was deemed a failure and why dead space 3 was made to appeal to a broader audience).

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I remember EA saying that if Dead Space 3 didn't sell 10,000,000 copies then it would be considered a failure

Which, only shit like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto sells like that

I was gonna say the fucking fries themselves are more than $5 and they're cold and soggy by the time they hand you the bag half the time.

Even fastfood is now expensive.
