Yeah, for reference, here are all of the deals currently available for me in the McD’s app…
$2 Breakfast sandwich (and they no longer have 24 hours breakfast).
Free medium fries with a $3 purchase.
Buy One Happy Meal get one for $2
20% off a $15+ purchase
And that’s it. Meanwhile…
A Quarter Pounder with Cheese or Big Mac is $7.29, for the sandwich alone. The meals are $13.39 and $13.19 respectively. Why is there a difference? The sandwiches cost the same independently and the fries and drink are the same for the meal.
Or let’s get into the grift now… they’re ripping you off with some of the meals. A regular basic Cheeseburger is $2.69, and the meal is $10.39. so they’re saying the “discounted” meal bundle price to add a regular drink and fries is $7.70. So they’re saying the fries and a soda are worth nearly 3x as much as the cheeseburger, which is already ridiculous. But let’s ignore that and look at the cost closer… a regular medium fries is $4.99 and a regular medium soda is $1.39 which comes to $6.38… so they’re actually ripping you off for an additional $1.32 if you get the meal versus the items separately. So you’re paying an additional 10% by getting the meal… Isn’t that what the discount should be?
The price of a mcflurry is €4,80. You can buy a magnum scoop ice cream (€5) with twice the volume and greater quality. Also, we have a shitty discount play. So rn, you can buy 2 for the price of 1. So that’s way better than a half-melted mcflurry with barely any chocolate chunks in it.

Magnum pint ice cream is the best I’ve tasted short of some artisanal products. Better than Ben and Jerry or any other mass market.
Just looked it up and it belongs to Unilever, UK based multinational, so quite okay.
