Quoted from titanpenguin:They are selling out, so they obviously picked a winner.
So now print error McDonald's toys are valuable? People will buy literally anything. Just a bad batch?

Quoted from screaminr:Maybe it's my Mind Playing Tricks On Me but for the last 15 years I've complained to my wife Big Macs aren't like they used to be
It's not you, shrinkflation is real.
Quoted from jackd104:I think the rebrand is trying to win back adults who grew up to realize they were manipulated by clowns and playgrounds to sell them terrible unhealthy junk food for their entire childhood.

Quoted from benheck:I gotta wonder if - much like pinball toppers - there's a ceiling fast food is gonna hit real soon?
Why spend (here in Madison, WI) $9.50 for a halfway cold, food warmer tray, dry-as-a-bone "value" meal when $12 gets you piping hot fresh Chinese? $15 gets you a Red Robin burger. $17 gets you BBQ. For not much more money you get much better food. Or hell, swing into Kwik Trip for a pretty decent $3.50 chicken sandwich that unlike McD actually contains moisture.
There was a time when "fast food" had the holy trifecta - good, fast AND cheap. Now it's none of those.
I absolutely agree. In my area Taco Bell's value menu is the best bang for your buck in any comparison. It's hard to say that without sounding like a shill but it's true. Decent sized bean and rice burrito? $1. Bigger one with ground beef? $2. Healthier option with guacamole and black beans in place of beef? Also just $2. And it's all low carb and high protein. You can get box combos with a drink for $5, or a whole Mexican Pizza for the same price. Literally everywhere else I go that's fast food it's like, 2 or 3 times as expensive for the same amount of food or less. I mean, a coupon for a single Hardee's burger is $3.99. Full price is over $6! I can go to Cracker Barrel and pay around $7 for a hot sit down meal. For the cheapest most basic burger! And this is subjective, but to me other fast food options are also much crappier. Taco Bell's stuff also seems to have a lot less grease.
Quoted from RyanStl:I thought they got rid of the Mexican pizza. Totally agree about the prices though
Corporate did ditch the Mexican Pizza for several years but they brought it back last year. According to them demand outstripped supply by a factor of 7 and it quickly came and went. Last month they started offering it again once ingredients were restocked.
I honestly believe the "adult happy meal" is a desperate attempt to market tens of thousands of defective toys and get some sort of ROI out of them. They say it's based on the clothing brand logo but I see no logo with 4 eyes here? Just a bunch of $200 sweatpants.
