Who all here reading this comment has definitely taken a dump when waking up in the morning? Also who has ever farted in their lives and something extra comes out of your bung hole and then you have to throw away your underwear. Comment down below your responses. Lastly who all here catches a glimpse of your poo poo before you flush?

[@666narutomanfan]

you can get a Large drink with the $5/$6 deal btw(Here in SoCal, the McDouble option is $6 but the McChicken options are $5). If you use the app or the self service machine in McDonalds, once you select the meal deal you can select your drink. Go to "fountain drink" then whatever drink you want, then you can choose the size. It is AUTOMATICALLY pre-selected as a small drink. Pair this with the app deals (I paired it with a free Medium fries coupon I had on the app I believe for the Angels winning a game, states may vary) and its a pretty solid deal. I personally dont think its a particularly FILLING meal, but the app can sometimes offset it with the free options it can open up at times.

[@misteral9045]

Sigh. Gamers. They'll be happy playing a terrible game as long as it makes them forget their troubles.

[@chunli99]

This is called “anchoring” by the way. Each of these items used to be a dollar on the dollar menu. Anchoring is raising the price to something until people are no longer willing to buy, and then coming down just a bit to seem somewhat more reasonable, but the perception of reasonable is to the new high price, and you forget that this a 66% increase because the $5 meal you got previously cost $3. Honestly it doesn’t make sense to not eat clean nowadays. Fast food places are costing what healthy tasty alternatives do. I know grocery stores are different everywhere, but my local grocery store has assembled foods like different peppers stuffed with various cheeses and meats, stuffed mushrooms, brussel sprouts with and without bacon. Filling, tasty meals without weird preservatives each for

[@mikedimples]

[@encompassthyeclipse7278]

As the economy gets worse people have to work more and more, working more and more makes you frustrated or depressed, then you don’t want to come home and make a huge mess or effort. Most people just eat out to avoid that.

I agree. I can get a whole rotisserie chicken from my grocery store for $5. BTW I had a McDee's hamburger 2 years ago and it didn't even taste like beef. My dog wouldn't even eat it.

Not everyone know how to cook and can afford an expensive kitchen to cook in...

What does he reference?

[@kentuckyfriedjews88]

Absolutely nothing.

Like my comment if you know the reference

[@austingood22]

“Is it a scam?” Would be a great title for a food review series lol

[@christophersteen1873]

It is a scam! No where actually sells it for 5, almost every place sells it for at least 5.50 if not 7, it's a scam to get you to drive to the restaurant and spend money anyway.

[@jbrian53]

They basically turned their "buy one get one for a dollar" deal into a meal with a small soda and small fries for a slight upcharge.

[@bwatson4172]

First thing I noticed was the items and decor in this video, yes. It creates a much better background for a food review. Might I suggest a kitchen type background for some of your other reviews as well. Try getting up a button for people to comment on the food too...make it interactive if you will. I feel sites that have personal interaction draw more viewers, where perhaps there may be some information that you gain to help your business in some way. Love the vids, your demeanor, and your monochrome way of delivering it. Just my thoughts to share hope it finds you personally, and feel free to reach out and express your feelings as I appreciate the dialog.

peeping the island getaway and cafe sweets candles back there... king of good taste

[@davidoldham1946]

be careful on the McDs quality being the same. I on occasion get a steak egg and cheese breakfast bagel from them. I got two a few weeks ago and the price was lower to my shock. Last week I repeated and on both bagels the first few bites were all egg cheese and bagel. They had very obviously shrunk the steak "patty" size where it barely covered 2/3 of the bagel. The taste was also marginal for the steak plus one of them had a significant piece of gristle. Oh well I can always make my own which I have been doing more and more.

[@RoseanneSeason7]

Holy cow I got that this morning. First time having it in years. Your review was spot on. That steak patty was a joke. After the grissle bite I tapped out and tossed it in the trash

As a kid that remembered getting chicken nuggets in the 90s and then getting them now they’re literally half the size. Like chicken coins now when they used to be thick

[@Wilco1972]

They made that change when they went to all white meat years ago. I liked the nuggets as they were, but people wanted all white meat....

[@plasmoasis]

you sure your hands havent just grown?

[@SHUB281]

They probably raised the price of everything else to recoup the cost.

[@SolarSailor1967]

The only news bigger than the McDonalds $5 meal is R-brahs review of the meal.

[@renamedplaya8351]

Do a video about McDs getting rid of drink stations. That means you get even less value if you eat there. You can go to the counter for a refill, but you have to wait and I think you can really only do that once.

[@barefacedyeti3895]

remember when you could buy 39cent basic hamburgers and 49 cent basic cheeseburgers on Wednesdays

[@saltydog209]

It was 29cent burgers and 39cent cheeseburgers in my area. And the lines werent 100 ppl deep screaming at employees. Miss those times.

[@jbernal682]

Are you kidding me? 5 dollars for a soft drink, small french fries, 1 sandwich and a 4 piece nugg? That's a steal these days!

[@CutoutClips]

Wendy's still has the 4 for $4. You can go up to $5 if you want a bacon burger or chicken sandwich.

[@AyaWetts]

@@CutoutClips maybe depends on area... any near me has no 4 for $4 anymore, just a $5 meal

[@christophersteen1873]

This is just a psychological trick, this same meal was $3 two years ago. That is a huge and unconscionable price increase, stop buying food from places ripping you off!

[@christianrodriguez3973]

Ct state here, it’s upwards of $6-$7 for the Wendy’s biggie bag :/

[@X2011racer]

This is essentially their version of Wendy's Biggie Bags, which used to be $5 and $6. Now, the Biggie Bags are $8 and $9. The only difference between the two is the fries; Wendy's has Medium Fries, while McDonald's has Small Fries.

[@timmathews803]

There is no 8 and nine dollar biggie bags ghey I drive a truck nationwide

Someone said that certain franchises have the five dollar sign up but they’re actually charging more. If that happens to me, I’m going to say “Stick it back under the warmer honey, I’m going to Taco Bell.”

[@Wilco1972]

I don't know where you're at but here the cheapest Taco Bell meal is the vegetarian build your own combo and its a diollar more than the Mcdonalds meal.

[@rssmith289]

Your video is so well done! This is the first time I have seen your videos.

[@Honeypot-x9s]

Realistically for $5 they could have done 2 of these sandwiches and gave option of 6 nuggets or a Large fry and not lose any money, probably get a lot of sales too. Given several McDonald’s around me that giving away medium fries with any purchase and $3.50 for 2 doubles I think it’s completely doable for $5. 6 nuggets are in same reward points bracket as much cheaper items which tells me the real cost matches those cheaper items…. Probably get away with 10 nuggets. Honestly the drink can be optional if the amount of food is seemingly good. Doesn’t need to be a classic meal… we’re all just looking for a good deal and that’s probably a better way of marking the times is a bag of food instead of a classic meal.

[@Zowiettr]

they should hire you

[@Honeypot-x9s]

@@Zowiettri agree in that they need someone or some groups that have a realistic view to design a value menu…. And also talk to them about their pricing. How does it stands? McDonald’s can have my ideas for free because I don’t care. I’d rather a good deal if they’re even paying attention.. Here’s another thing at $3.50 for a pair of McDoubles, or McChickens too; that’s $1.75 a sandwich to you from the restaurant. They can totally bring back a dollar menu if they wanted too… I mean, we all know how cheap the drinks really are we all know how ridiculously overpriced french fries are. I think that’s pretty good proof of it because they’re internal costs are gonna be a lot lower than that and I’m sure adjustment’s internally can be made to further accommodate, again if they really wanted to.

[@erniejones5008]

They are losing money on this deal.

[@UrHumanShield]

@@erniejones5008 ??? HOW? The quality is so fucking low???

[@erniejones5008]

@@UrHumanShield because they’re costs are tremendously high the average franchise only makes $150000 a year. Corporate makes all the money. Franchise have to pay a tremendous amount of fees to corporate. They have to lease the property from corporate. They have to give 4% of their profit to corporate and there’s all the other cost involved in operating. Just like Wendy’s doesn’t make anything on the four and five dollar meals. There’s more than just the Food cost them more now. There is the straw and the drink cup. The paper that burger is wrapped in, fry box and labor cost. It all ads up.

[@ChefMane]

Wendy’s deal is better. Better taste too. They still have the 4 for 4 but you can only get the burger not the chicken sandwhich

[@thescrubsepian]

I miss the Checker's 4 for$3

[@Dragonk116]

True but I think they still have like those 2 for $3 and 2 for $5 deals.

[@Majax2]

A SMALL fry?!? So like 8 fries? Nah, I'm not eating at McDonalds again until they bring back supersize fries & beef tallow, lol.

It's the Unhappy Meal, the happy meal without a toy.

[@sleigh4019]

This aged well on the 5$ .. Lol most places 6.89$ all the way to 13$ in few places

[@Dragonk116]

Exactly they say it's a $5 meal but in most places they're charging $6 plus tax and in other cases $13 which is just crazy.

[@genebob007]

Is the chicken sandwich just a large nugget ????

[@rascal1234]

A few years ago, BK in my locale had a less known adhoc combination that only cost just over $3: Two hanburgers, small fries and small drink. It was more than enough food for me. More calories than a #1 and better too. Now, that same "combo" is over $9.00. Crazy. Of course, the "small" fries and drink are about equivalent to a medium from the 1980's.

[@Thecheaptoolman]

Glad to see someone on YT do research and review food would rather watch something real and not people of Walmart videos . The suits are a nice touch hope you are successful as you are . Note there is more then fast food to review you can compare many brands at the store like soup brands . Awesome real work on YT keep up the good work .

[@DmtTrippin]

I miss when McDonald's nuggets has dark meat and white meat. You could differentiate by the shape.

[@Kyloki87]

You can also get buy one get one for a dollar and get water. Two small fries, McDouble, 4 piece nuggets. About 6 dollars.

[@StrandedLifeform]

But is the "deal" only if you order on the app? Seems like McDonald's runs a lot of deals that are "available on app only". Not everyone wants to clutter up their devices with a hundred different apps or waste time with clicking on this, that and the other when you can simply tell the employee at the counter what you want. Also app ordering is taking away jobs. If a company is going to create a deal, make the deal available for everyone no matter their preferred method of ordering.

[@benny5615]

It’s not only in the app.
