"anti American". Nah, it's overpriced shit, that's all. Love from Australia.

Yeah, I can get an actual pub burger for 3-5 more than a quarter pounder... and I don't hate myself after it? Why should I go to McDonald's?

[โ€“] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?

[โ€“] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly this. It was "fast food" where you didn't expect greatness because it was cheap. Now it's not at all cheap and crap anyway.

Yeah it was always cheap, fast, good... pick 2 (sometimes) now it's fast or good, pick 1 (maybe).

Near me it's none of the above, teenagers arent winning any races and I dont expect them to. $15 minimum for a meal, and $30 for my partner and I, so fuck it, might as well go to the local burger joint where it's $36, feeds us both ,and I get a blue cheese and bacon burger for my trouble.

That's the way nowadays... good gravy I remember scoffing at a $10 burger... now finding one that cheap is like a unicorn!

Without the sauce the patty just tastes like cardboard. ( Urm, not that I eat cardboard often. )
