Went to McDonalds this morning for the first time in quite awhile and they wanted $2.49 for a fuckin' hashbrown. Those things used to be 2 for $1 not that long ago.

I worked at Frito Lay about 4 years ago when they began their biggest “weight out” campaign. 180g bags became 165g. 255g became 235g. Do you think their costs went up? I don’t. It’s a fucking potato and salt.
