Ew
People should avoid McDo*ald's at all costs. But so many people are fat, lazy and stupid! 👍😃
it seems to me that this is a viscous cycle of price gulgding, with the energy providers at the root of it as they increase the electrical costs , which in turn means that manufactures and producers need to increase costs , then the markets then us. its either that the cost of extracting oil per cubic unit has gone up for the world economy is dealing with an energy cartel
t may actually then be a symptom of the indicators that the worlds oil supply has actually entered the decline phase globally
It's actually a good thing fast food has become expensive. It gives you yet another incentive not to eat that slop. Cook for yourself. It's better, cheaper, and you learn a skill.
Grocery also got more expensive, but not as much
Yeah, lets see... cheap home-cooked meals include instant-mashed-potatoes and... uh not salad that price is also increasing and definitely not meat that's a luxury so I guess mashed potatoes and... fruits?
👍🏻
@@Mere-Lachaiselongue except fruits are overrated and also overpriced, ontop of that nothing more than glorified sugar bombs with little nutrition.
They dont have as much vitamins and minerals as some make them out to have.
And an affordable meat (semi) alternative at least are peanuts. Rich in protein (more than eggs on a 100g basis iirc) and fairly healthy fats.
Anyway. Thank god i dont live in the states.
Capitalism at its finest.
Blessing in disguise
Fast food used to be quick and cheap, now it's slow and expensive.. how 🤣
Ask the managers
In the U.K. it hasn’t gone up anywhere near as much. Maybe 20% on most items, but with a 1 min survey receipt you get Big Mac and fries for $4 (£3). Drink water
PEOPLE! THAT'S HOW!
Ay I literally just finished watching the video u put out today
facts
I've been scrolling for 20 minutes and haven't seen a single comment mentioning how the Federal Reserve printed trillions of dollars since the pandemic. Maybe that had something to do with prices rising across the board? Just maybe? Anyone?
Buy Bitcoin!
Oy vey
That and America reverting back to being an oil importer. Freight is the biggest cost of food. Food is cheap, getting it to the consumer is not.
That may have been mentioned but with how the US is funding certain wars and countries around the world that tend to get peoples comments hidden.
I kept seeing news about spontaneous barn explosions being responsible for the rising price of beef. Beef has gone up 250% on the last 5 years & demand is down, so who the heck keeps buying it?
Fastfood was never good. The only “incentive“ was the low price. Now that prices are rising there is no reason to consume fastfood anymore.
The other incentive that is in the name. The part that makes it ideal for long road trips where you aren't stopping much. Though that assumes the service is tolerable.
I freaking love fast food. It tastes delicious and it was cheap. Now I make fast food at home.
i mean there are some genuinely good fast-foods, but the majority of them are pretty bad. now the only reason people will get fast food is either because it's good or because it's popular
You just gotta make sure you download all the fast food apps. All the apps give really good deals
There is only one reason for me. It’s called a road trip. Even then, I usually pack all my own food so I can skip fast food all together.
Only in America is it both expensive to eat healthy and eat unhealthy food.
welcome to inflation
same in Russia
I'm sorry, but I see you everywhere. 😂
Unfortunately, this was done in purpose to EVERY 1ST WORLD country! So this isn't just in America. This was the doing of the globalist elites scumb*gs. I never ear this slop, makes me feel extremely ill and slow. Might be a good thing, cause this stuff literally harms people, and even leads to their demise, unfortunately as well.
Clearly you haven't been to Australia
It's wild that $10 can only buy you three hashbrowns
It's a fucking joke
Meanwhile at the local pizzeria I can get a $10 large pizza. Same price for Mcdonalds as it is for a pizza and garlic fingers.
That can also get a ham sub at Subway. Big whoop.

Refusal to buy is always the consumers' best weapon.
I'd like to think that if fast food burger restaurants fail, beef prices would plummet & become affordable again.
I remember a few years ago, fast food restaurants were responsible for a year-long shortage of chicken wings & breasts.
Tell your friends and family tell everyone
That is the only true power any individual consumer has.
Last time I ate McDonald’s I got the value meal it was 2 cheeseburgers medium fries and medium drink was $2.99! Mid 90s were a great time to grow up.
I remember 2 for 2$ Whoppers... not Whopper Jr's either (60 cents extra for each if you wanted cheese). Obama was a Trojan horse.
McDonald first introduced us to the extra value meal in 1989. The Big Mac meal with med fries and drink, back then was $2.99. 😊
They've got that for $5 in the app as a mobile app deal. But the regular prices are stupid
had 99 cent whoppers back then too. QP meal was 2.99 then too went a few years ago and was around 8 bucks. Even 10 years ago I would rather pay a few bucks more for better quality food.
All that changed after the Supersize Me documentary. Fast food got expensive as overhead increased.
Rip the $1 McChicken 😞
I miss getting off work after a closing shift back in 2010 and stopping by McDonald’s for a $2 McGangbang. It was a $1 McChicken combined with a $1 McDouble.
God damn McDonald's they support Israel
$1 value meals left Canada in I think 2004. Now a small cheeseburger is like $3.99. GTFO
With the end of the $1 McChicken went my reasons to visit McDonald's...
I stopped there in a rush at work the other day and got my old order i used to always get when i was younger, McChicken McDouble sweet tea, 5-6 bucks. Yeah it was like fuckin 10 dollars. How can that be?
After months of complaining about “McDonalds and Taco Bell are so expensive now..” it finally clicked! I will no longer go to these trash places. I’ve been going to these “restaurants” ever since I could remember. But the time has come to change old bad habits to new better ones. So long taco hell and McPuke. People are paying more for shittier food and shittier service from over worker employees.
over worked**
I work at a Taco Bell on the weekends despite being an options trader during the week. Did it for a few reasons but the important one here is it gave me some on the ground insight on a 400 share position I held in YUM for years.
I ended up dumping that position during the summer last year after watching things like how often a credit card was run vs cash/debit and just hearing comments from customers about prices. All it told me was the consumer was getting very weak.
Comments like yours don't surprise me and I think this time, this recession, YUM and MCD won't be so lucky like they have been before.
Ya you can go to a "real" restaurant for the same price nowadays.
Fast food is the epitome of consumer goods. Throw that away and you'll be left to process your own food. Prepare your wallet and your stomach. Rough times ahead.
@@AlexanderTheGoodEnoughconsumer confidence is sinking and it’s going to show sooner than later
It's deeply concerning to see the cost of living increase, especially in necessities like food. The shift from fast food being a budget-friendly option to becoming unaffordable signals more significant economic issues.
Food is skyrocketing, rent is skyrocketing, utilities are skyrocketing, house prices are still rising despite failing to sell (to anyone but banks looking to turn them into Air BnBs), all the rental homes are short-term & don't allow pets, & job pay hasn't increased to compensate for all of this.
It’s amazing how countless videos point out the problem, but no one knows or offers a solution.
Solution is to stop eating fast food lmao
McDonald’s has even acknowledged in their last earnings report that McDonald’s has become out of reach for poor people. My whole family used to eat there for $25 then the following month it was $28, then $31, then $33, then over $40 in less than a year.
Have you fired McDonald's or you still allowing them to feed your family? Making the CEO and shareholders rich while your family is getting poorer and more unhealthy.
I'm not wagging my fingers just asking. I had to fire McDonald's and start cooking more often....I'm eating quinoa cabbage and cod tonight... relatively cheap meal and healthier
@@neanam stating you fired them is really bizarre but funny
@@mjshorty101 It's really not that strange when you think about it. McDonald's is doing a job and the family is essentially a business unit. You're in the business of managing your family. This way of thinking is something people used to understand, but I can see how you don't really see it like that now with a breakdown of the family and all that...
@@chronometer9931 Ok your explanation just went even more bonkers. Family is not business, and you dont fire family members.
You're the reason they keep increasing the prices. No matter how much they increase it, people keep buying it.

As a 20 year old just entering the real world, I eat my prep meals 3 times a day. It's cheaper, healthier, and has taught me valuable cooking skills. If you're young like me, skip the drive-thru and thank yourself later
Back then, i always cooked 2 days worth of food in one go, save more time and less cleaning
Same, I also prep my food. I cook every 2-3 days a meal I split up for 2 to 3 days.
Mostly organic meat and vegetables. ❤
My sister is the same age since she worked at a fast food restaurant she gained 60 lbs and never cooks for herself always ordering food
You’re already progressing leaps and bounds compared to others in your age bracket by cooking for yourself. Another hot tip, don’t go to university and get a trade. You’ll thank me later.

@@MrClassicmetal Answer -- You can't.
@@Cosmo_P0litan And I was just browsing through the comments section. So many folks are _convinced_ that buying that junk is cheaper compared to preparing their own meals. Even though they admit that they don't or can't even cook!

@tru777 he buys so much fast food to eat that the corporations raise their prices to continue to profit off of him
I remember my mother teaching us it’s waaay easier to budget when you can cook. Basic life skill that she would have been very disappointed if we refused to learn.
When I learned to cook, our shopping budget nearly tripled. I got tired of the "WW2 poor people food" my grandmother raised my mother on.
To be fair, this was long before fast food prices went up. I'm pretty sure I can make 2 nights of fried chicken & sides for 3 adults for less than the $75 KFC charged us 2 year ago.
We need a new term for fast food. It ain’t food.
“Fast stuff?”
“Fast poison?”
It ain’t “fast,” either.
“Not what I ordered stuff?”
“Gettin’ around to it poison?”

@@PowerofRock24 Much better. Maybe “lackadaisical” for “leisurely.”
Last week I went to A&W for lunch with my Grampa, we didn’t get side orders and both our drinks were small. It cost 20 dollars.

@@thatundeadlegacy2985 I hope it isn't. Accessible fast food is what separates the developed world from the rest.
In-N-Out for the win! In-N-Out doesn't change their prices, they are always low. Unlike places like McDonalds. Same with the Costco food court, they are incredibly cheap and delicious, unlike what you are getting at most fast-food places.
This is so true it makes me so sad because this new economy makes 5 dollar bills seem like 1 dollar bills in value
The fact that even though McDonald is expensive it never fills my stomach but only that one dish that my mother cooks is wayy enough to make me endure hunger for 12 hours with ease
Because McDonald’s is poison and not real food.
i've cut that garbage a good while ago, but they'll keep making profits by targeting the younger and the less self aware. The dramatic things are the supermarkets, they too are becoming unaffordable. In some supermarket chains buying food is becoming more expensive than eating out.
The McDonalds Cheeseburger tripled in price in the past 10 years here
It also decreased in size. You’re paying more, for less.
Yep, here in france it was 1.05€ 5 years ago, now it's 3.50€.
Big mac menu is 5,60€ in my country.
20 dollar minimum, are you insane
luckily in slovenia, only mcdonalds made a name for itself, it used to be something special as a kid going there for me, now there's quite a few of their restaurants, only 1 kfc in the whole country, but well, our local companies are still suffering in other areas, all we ever build now are supermarkets where big name brands sell stuff, we are losing our identity as well, we focus only on tourism, so this video is very very actual even for some european countries!
When Elon Musk finally lands on Mars, he will find a McDonalds already built there.
Last year I went to Serbian McDonald's with my mother for the first time. I ordered a small Cesar Burger and it came out 900 RSD. To put that into perspective, monthly minimum paycheck in Serbia is around 40k RSD.

I watch many of Moon's videos. I don't feel like he answered the core questions, in this one though. Why is it so expensive? Why are they still making profits, even if they are closing the stores down. There were things that were loosely implied, but not clearly with solid evidence. His videos I think are usually better.
That's exactly my thoughts. This video, he pretty much went on a tangent and never answered the question.
He didn't succinctly answer the question, and the video also ended abruptly. I went looking for part 2, but it doesn't exist. It felt like he was working up to an interesting conclusion, but then decided to head out to McDonald's for some dinner.
DOWN WITH FAST FOOD!
At least the prices anyways...
It is not only in the US. And it's not just MaccyD. In Germany the famous Turkish shawarma sandwich now costs 8 euros. In 2019 it was 3-4 euros. A political party proposes subsidizing it federally :/)
doubling the price in just 5 years should be a CRIME!. geezus thats insane
Prices have increased since 2015 in my country because was when the imf left but min wage also increased , Ukraine w messed up prices but now some already went back to normal others didn’t although quality declined imo.
What is k people is people that rent instead of owning homes although off course people complain about prices anyway.
Kebab was 4€ in a box with potatoes chips now idk because I don’t have been there
Here in Europe, fast food chains got so expensive it's basically never an option anymore. I can go to quality Thai or Ramen places and get a full meal plus a side and its still cheaper than Burger King or McDonalds. This is insane! But on the good side, its helpful that the highly processed/unhealthy food outoptioned itself as a choice. Making decisions was never easier.😂
In other countries, they have much higher minimum wages. It’s merely corporate greed.
No, it's supply and demand. For every worker, there's a thousand others who'd jump to replace him. If you're replaceable, you aren't worth paying more. Why would they pay more when someone else would do it for half of what you want?

It was made for Catholics to have some kind of meat to eat during Lent, and there are others who swear by it just the lunatics that love that horrible mcrib shitwich
It’s a marketing trick used to get rich people to pay more. You can still get most stuff for 1/3 the menu price on the app with deals and points. Normal people will order this way, while rich people won’t bother and will just pay the marked up menu prices.
This lets places like McDonalds essentially charge people based on their income, getting both maximum revenue and maximum customers, since normal people can pay the app prices. It’s honestly pretty smart.
Deals and coupons are rarer or less affordable every year. Even if you get "buy 1, get 50% off", you're still paying the outrageous new prices.
It's not "smart", unless you judge intelligence by customer ignorance and McDonald's greed. $10 burgers are still $10, but now we get $1 coupons for a single hash brown. McDonald's is simply transitioning to rich people.
This literally happened in south park
Boycott McDonald’s you’ll thank me later ❤
3 words: inflation
I keep hearing that we're now in a "stagflation."
In Brazil, a Big mac + fries + coke is 34 reais (local currency). A "marmitão" (chicken filet, rice, beans and salad) is 15-20 reais. You can buy two healthy meals for the price one McMeal.
It's not inflation people. It's policy choices, deregulations, and corporate greed.
Fast food is shite. You are better off cooking at home. Our local DG has a fresh produce section. I make a lot of soups using fresh veggies and pasta dishes with things like spinach. I'd say I'm in better shape than 90 % of people my own age.

It’s been like this in all of these places in Australia and Canada for over a decade just so you know.
Fast food has been unaffordable in Australia for most for over five years.
First they get you hooked on the product and the convenience, and then when they’ve got a good % of the market, they increase prices
The fast food prices are increasing outside of America as well. What used to cost $15 at Church's Chicken around 2019 cost me a little over $22 yesterday. I was shocked as I haven't bought fast food in a while.
I can't believe a couple states raise their minimum wage and the prices go up. In other countries they pay their workers more and the price is the same. They're just greedy. Corporations have always been greedy. And the food quality is terrible.
Moon puts out great content.
$18+ for fast food? Here in Norway, one of the most expensive countries on earth, I can get a full dinner plus coffee for that price in most cafes. Here at Fauske in Northern Norway, the cafe we visit the most (at the railroad station), have dinners starting at around $14, and the food is excellent. And $7 for coffee, is roughly double compared to just about any cafe, restaurant or gas station here, and even that is expensive, imo.
Btw, here in Europe we don't have these massive chains taking over everything. Everywhere, from the smallest villages to the largest cities, you'll have no problem finding cozy restaurants that doesn't belong to any chain at all. And thank God for that !!!

I don't eat fast food, never really did... only in a pinch while traveling every blue moon or so. But I specifically remember that in 2020, when people were pushing for $15 wages an hour, I commented this would cause prices to sky rocket and make it unaffordable, AND people will lode their jobs. Do you want to make minimum wage, or do you want no job...? Because that's where we are heading with this BS. Then, after $15, inflation was on the brink, and NOW, they are pushing for 20 to 25$$ an hour! I even said they would end up firing actual human beings and make it ALL automated with robots. People called me every name in the book, tried to bully me on here, called me every ist, ism, and phobe too. "You are a rac!st p0s," was said to me ALOT!

As so one who drives all over the southeast for work, i can vouch. Nothing but the same repeat garbage food everywhere. The only time I eat out is when work pays for it, and thats usually only when i can find a mom and pop place. Piss on the fast food restaurant industry. Personally, I hope they ALL close, and soon.
When I thought about how bad I'd feel after eating my favorite fastfood, the craving went away. That's how I stopped McDees, and the rest followed soon after.
Thank you for this. We NEED TO KNOW! AND NEVER FORGET!
The problem with mandated minimum wages is that by far not every business is worth the increased labor compensation, particularly low-margin enterprises relying on hordes of low-skilled workforce. Differential application of the minimum wage could mend the situation, but that will demand even more red tape and exception loops that have to be administered and the already existing exceptions are siring controversies.

This is basically the issue with capitalism as a whole: big corporations are incentivized to offer a great service at an insanely good price to drive out the local competition. Once that local competition is gone, raise the prices because there's nobody else to compete.
We've seen this happen IN LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ECONOMIC SECTOR, from video games to movies (blockbuster-netflix anybody?), and it's never going to change.
The other day my mom and I went to Mc Donald’s and ordered 4 combos of the cheap stuff u know the two cheeseburgers (we even used the app for the discounted price) and it was about 30$

@@ClassicMocha Businesses do not want trump
@@cassandra9699 HA that should tell you exactly everything then… farmers and ranchers do, but big banks don’t?
My wife and I dont eat much, it had been a while so treated ourselves to maccas last week.
We're in NZ and my medium big Mac combo and her medium cheese burger combo with chicken nuggets came to almost $40!!!
I live near a sit down restaurant with cheaper and better quality burgers.
I notice its same in UK, , im sure it was something like £14/15 for two adult two kids meals a few years ago. The last time we had one. I think it was £22/24 when we had one last March when we were coming back from holiday. Their "food" is rank.
I live in California and there a lot of $.99 stores. The one in my city is going out of business. I read an article saying that the $.99 store Is liquidating all their assets. Which means they going out of business. I never liked shopping there anyways it always seemed dirty and rundown.
It's a 99c store, what we're you expecting Harrods?!
You all think it’s bad now? Just give it another 5 years. You will own nothing, and you will be happy…… 👍🏼🤷🏼
The sad part is this isn’t just limited to fast food. It’s getting into retail stores too. The rise in minimum wage is making everything worse for everyone. It always gets me when people complain about self checkout will also complain when things are expensive and here I am getting paid 20 bucks an hour. And the worse part is the company is STILL hiring anyone with a pulse.
because dealers always jack up the price after their customers are hooked
Minimum wage law has been a total failure for decades but we never learn.
Makes me want to put my head through a wall that so many people don’t realize a higher minimum wage just means everything becomes more expensive and just leaves you where you started proportionally in the end.
Minimum wage exists because the federal reserve exists (inflation)
Because corporations see that wage increase & think they can start charging more to compensate for every penny of potential revenue going into labor costs. It's a never-ending cycle of fail.
Brazilian customers: "First time? LMAO"
American customers: "Yeah!"
It became more expensive in Germany too due to Inflation, but not that extremely
I love this Chanel thank you
The messed up thing is I live in East Europe where the average salary is about 700 euros after tax, and the prices are the same here as they are in the US or West Europe. I was never a big consumer of fast food, but a couple of weeks ago suddenly got a craving for KFC. I bought an average burger, a side of fries and 4 chicken strips with 2 wings. A cup of juice-some menu version, and it cost about 23 euros.
And I weighed myself the next day, and had gained 1.1kg, which is impressive.
It's physically impossible for you to gain that much weight from the food you outlined. There simply aren't enough calories for that to happen
A burger from KFC? I think you're talking about the wrong fast food chain.
@@scottlauren3145 Fast food menus are different in other parts of the world. I don't know enough about KFC in other countries to know what they sell everywhere but KFC might have a sandwich that they just call a burger in other countries
@@hectorg5809 What probably happened to AstroMartine is a combination of normal daily weight fluctuation combined with not weighing themselves under the same circumstances eg the 1st weighing was just after they woke up and emptied their bowel and bladder (aka when they're lightest), and the 2nd weighing was after a big meal.
I used to do dialysis and losing 2 to 2.5kg in 4 hours was normal, even with lunch and snacks during the session.
@@hectorg5809 the average person doesn't realize that if you don't weigh yourself at the same time under the same conditions your weight will fluctuate by several kilos. prolly what happened here
Why would you even want to eat this plastic food? 🤷🏼♀️
You're speaking from a US perspective. We in the international community have been seeing this for a whiiiiillllllleeeeee now...
What pisses me off more is that not only prices are going up but the portions are getting smaller and smaller
Life hack: learn to cook at home
The only fast food I do is intermittent fasting from food
No food is like the total opposite of fast food lol
dollar generals don't replace existing shops, they pop up overnight in the middle of nowhere.
I love fast food. I wish it wasn't so expensive to get. Hopefully it goes back soon.
