McDonald's Menu Changes: What's the Deal?

Alright, let's get real for a second. McDonald's is "adding more options" to their Extra Value Meal? Give me a break. It's like they think we're all too stupid to see what's really going on.

The Illusion of Savings

So, they're trotting out the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets as some kind of gift to the masses? Please. This is textbook corporate manipulation. They dangle the promise of "value" while quietly jacking up prices elsewhere. McDonalds adds more Extra Value Meals to its menu for limited time

And don't even get me started on the "limited time" offer. It's a classic scarcity tactic. Make people think they're missing out, and they'll flock to buy it, logic be damned. Is anyone actually falling for this?

Then there's the National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day $2 McCrispy deal via the app. Oh, how generous! But wait, you have to download their app, give them your data, and probably agree to sell your soul in the fine print just to save a buck on a mediocre chicken sandwich. No thanks.

The Buffalo Ranch Debacle

Oh, and they're pushing some "Buffalo Ranch lineup" too? Buffalo Ranch everything? Are they serious?

I swear, fast-food chains have the culinary creativity of a goldfish. It's always the same tired flavors recycled into different forms. Snack Wrap, McCrispy, Deluxe McCrispy...it's all the same processed garbage dressed up in slightly different packaging.

CEO's "Favorite" Menu Item?

Speaking of packaging, did you see that video of the McDonald's CEO doing a "menu item tournament" on LinkedIn? Chris Kempczinski apparently loves the Snack Wrap. McDonald’s CEO names his most beloved menu items in fan favorite tournament

Okay, I'll bite. The Snack Wrap is pretty decent, especially after being gone for so long. But the CEO's favorite? Really? It's a transparent attempt to seem relatable, like he's just one of us plebs who enjoys a tortilla-wrapped chicken strip. It's insulting.

The fact that he chose fries over the Egg McMuffin, McCrispy, and Filet-O-Fish before the Chicken McNuggets beat them out is insane. The Filet-O-Fish deserves more respect, offcourse.

I wonder, does he actually eat this stuff on a regular basis, or is it all just a carefully crafted PR stunt? And if he does eat it, how many cardiologists does he have on speed dial? I'm genuinely curious.

So, What's the Real Story?

Look, I get it. People are struggling. Inflation is a bitch, and McDonald's is trying to position itself as a budget-friendly option. But let's not pretend this is some act of altruism. It's about driving profits, plain and simple. They're not our friends; they're a corporation. And corporations only care about one thing: the bottom line. Maybe I am the crazy one though.

This whole "value menu" charade is just clown math, designed to trick you into spending more money on stuff you don't need. Wake up, people!
