When they removed the beef tallow from the french fries, it cost them a fortune. FF are very high profit, and they were bad, like every other Fast food fry.
Extends to the décor of the new stores. If you had never been in one you’d think the one in my neighborhood was some sort of a farmers market that sold high-end gourmet coffee.
McDonald’s profitability would skyrocket if ... Donald Trump ... was CEO ... step # 1 : bring back the “original” beef-tallow french fries ...
Don’t forget about the toy ban in Happy Meals at the San Francisco franchises.
That looks pretty good!
I used to buy their salads before they cut down the amount of chicken. Each time I’d ask the clerk how many salads they sold. Generally, they’d say something like, “we throw most of them away. They don’t sell.”
Tried to satisfy the Mooch and serve healthier food. McDonalds is about salt, fat, filling, cheap and fast.
All they need to do is go back to their old recipes and ingredients from 1960s and 1970s even the first half of 1980s, and they would be back. There is no mystery to their downfall — their food simply became inedible junk. Their famous fries have gone down the worst with their crappy fake tallow and cardboard-like pesticides laden GMO potatoes.
Nothing fried in oil is edible anymore. No fries, mcnugggets or hash browns. They all taste like baking soda now.
“Save the fish burger!”
The ONLY thing I like there : )
I agree. The beginning of the end was when they PC’d the fries.
But their fate was sealed when they decided to kiss the rings of the 0bama Marxists.
That was my favorite sandwich, but lately they’re nothing like they used to be.
Also: another vote for bringing back the tallow to cook the French Fries.

For me it boils down to the quality.
I go to Culver’s, Chic a fila, or Hardees before McDonalds.
I only go there if they are the only thing on my way. I rarely set out and say “I want McD’s!” The only exception is the breakfast menu.
The burgers suck, the fries are bad, the the chicken tastes like rubber. The price is great, but for a few bucks more I can get better food.
2miles away from my old neighborhood the mickey d’s was on a major traffic route. when it was renovated it was all african american art on the walls & decor to match. it was a slap in the face to all the other races of people who patronized it.
Yep. it all bites, and WE won’t take a bite : )
The left should be proud; they are getting rid of all those nasty minimum wage jobs! By doing this, the average wage in the US goes up. Of course, so does unemployment, but only until they stop filing.
Chicken nuggets were great for kids. Maybe something similar...breaded/battered beef or pork medallion would have worked.
I’m doing that for my picky grand kids. Take a quarter pound burger, cut it up into 4 or 5 pie shaped pieces then pre cook, bread and final cook.
Works.
I’m working on getting them to like Horsey dipping sauce...
McDonald’s will just shift everything to Japan like 7-11 did.
