Fast food didn't just stop being cheap, it also stopped being fast. Might not be the case for everywhere, but when they got the self-checkout screens they started making every order in order, and nothing more. Now if I order a single item, I still have to wait if there are many orders before mine. I miss the time when I could look behind the cashier and see what they had pre-made to get something immediately.
The quality has also fallen dramatically. I used to like their standard hamburgers (the little ones), but the buns are leathery these days, and the meat seems smaller than it used to be.
Based on the comments here, McDonalds probably made the graphic.
Everyone is more focused on how it should have been done rather then fuming at McDonalds for price gouging.
If this was just McDonalds, shouldn't there be a Burger King that didn't raise prices to try to gain back market share?
And if this was all fast food joints, is there a common reason besides greed that it happened? If it was just greed, you would think one of their competitors could WALMART (lower prices until competition dies) them.
Don't eat fast food, make your own.
If you're already at home it's faster too.
Just remember that the location which let the cheeto use it as a platform never got any blowback from corporate. So, just stop going to McDonald's altogether; plenty of other food places for when you don't want to cook.
2024 their sales went down for the first time, so they cut the prices a bit on some meals, but you get a small drink and a small frie like we're fucking stupid. If you up it back to medium fries and drink it's the same shitty overpriced deal.
It got me over the idea of stopping for fast food. Fuckem
More reason to stop eating fast food.
Fast food is supposed to be trash and cheap. It now is just trash.
Last time, I was at McDonald's, they got my order wrong, it took forever and on my way back home, I got a speeding ticket.
How did they make sure you got a speeding ticket? Seems like an over-reach even for a multi national corporation.
Back ~2010/11 I used to go to McD's once a week with friends after practice. I'd order a McChicken, a mcdouble, and a medium fry and pay with just random loose change from my car. Thanks for confirming this for me with this infographic, these are the prices I remember paying.
I wonder how this affects homelessness. What surprised me in my country was how much the homeless dependent on those cheap eats for food. How a 2 dollar burger here meant a meal for them, and how a price increase meant extra begging to get fed.
To compare, inflation from 2014 to 2025 has been about 33%
Good! People should not eat that crap. It’s hardly food.
I'm surprised they are not all 200%, didn't the money supply double in that time period?
200% is 3x
Also, money supply metric is a bad proxy for inflation
Don't eat fast food. It is really bad for you and will eventually kill you.
I mean, do whatever you want to your own body, but for gods sake don't feed that utter shit to your kids!
Running out of thin kids to show in the commercials so they zoom away from the fat belly.
What's worse is what it does to your arteries. They become clogged and brittle which then leads to strokes and heart attacks.
Combine that with Soda that destroys your kidneys and spikes your sugar and you are in for a terrible time. The heart and kidneys are closely tied so if you have problems it won't be pretty.
