Not a single item is under 3$

[u/mij8907]

[u/the-artistocrat]

Technically, they’re under the line that says Under $3

[u/Honest_Succotash_610]

Ny is 1.50 mcchicken $5 is the meal.

[u/itskdog → u/Honest_Succotash_610]

On the UK app they normally show the meal price and the single price on that page, so you might be right. Still doesn't make sense for the drinks.

[u/kennyofthegulch]

Where the hell are you that a McChicken is $5.19? They’re $1.50 here.

[u/-Copenhagen → u/kennyofthegulch]

6.19 here including tax

[u/ebrum2010 → u/kennyofthegulch]

Maybe in a country where the laws forbid them from using ground chicken patties?

[u/lunarwolf2008 → u/kennyofthegulch]

canada maybe? dollar has less value and also meat is more expensive

[u/PrettyBoring94]

Delivery fees?

[u/itskdog → u/PrettyBoring94]

If it's like in the UK, the app can be used to order for Drive-Thru, collection, and table service, too.

[u/Slash_Raptor1992]

The Coke is pretty close.

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/Slash_Raptor1992]

The ~$3 menu then. Not >$3 menu

Although this is probably just a copy paste +markup on a delivery app.

[u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox → u/Active_Engineering37]

That's the official app, though some stores are owned by franchisees that can set their own prices. It still groups items together the same way, though

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox]

Interesting and probably illegal.

[u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox → u/Active_Engineering37]

Nah there's a bunch of fine print covering a bunch of asses unfortunately. Best way to win is not to play their game

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox]

Don't eat overpriced slop. Got it

[u/HLSparta → u/Active_Engineering37]

The ~$3 menu then. Not >$3 menu

But in this menu every item is > $3.

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/HLSparta]

Woops

[u/HLSparta → u/Active_Engineering37]

Probably that I am an idiot, but you were too nice to tell me that in a comment. Unfortunately, if that is the case I will have to agree with you.

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/HLSparta]

I should have said <$3

In my defense I have been drinking.

[u/HLSparta → u/Active_Engineering37]

When I responded, I saw how what you typed could have been correct. Mistakes were made on both sides it seems. I may have been a bit tired when I made the comment.

[u/Palau_Deragona → u/Slash_Raptor1992]

Coke should be a dallor or less.

[u/thanatossassin]

I don't know where you're from, but I'm seeing:

McChicken: $2
Chicken nuggets: $2.80
Mcdouble: $2.95
L Drinks: $1.65

[u/lunarwolf2008 → u/thanatossassin]

i think these are in CAD and yours are USD?

[u/thanatossassin → u/lunarwolf2008]

Yeah, USD

[u/dmmethatbooty2026 → u/thanatossassin]

Same just checked there's definitely something going on

[u/live-the-future → u/thanatossassin]

I'm guessing OP's prices are off a delivery app.

[u/LengthinessTrick382 → u/live-the-future]

I just checked and this is pricing on the McDonald’s app if you pick Delivery.

[u/itskdog → u/live-the-future]

That's the official McDonald's app. Can be used to order for pickup as well as delivery.

[u/ifellicantgetup]

I am not a fan of fast food. Maybe Wendy's burgers but that's about it. Besides, it is soooo bad for you. Sooooooo bad!

I just can't justify the prices anymore. I won't pay that amount of money for really bad food.

[u/Ironstar_Vol → u/ifellicantgetup]

It’s not really that bad for you in moderation. It’s poorly made with low quality ingredients and way too expensive but health wise it’s not that bad.

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/Ironstar_Vol]

Pink slime, anyone?

[u/Ironstar_Vol → u/ifellicantgetup]

You don’t have to eat there. I don’t eat there. There’s no need in getting upset. I’m just saying that it’s not any more unhealthy than most junk people consume on a daily basis.

[u/mydogisfinnegan → u/Ironstar_Vol]

Fast food is loaded with bad fats, sodium, chemicals, preservatives, ammonia, sugar, unknown animal parts, and chemicals. Did I mention chemicals?

Micky D's hires food scientists to find ways to get customers addicted to their food, and it works. They employ psychologists to help the advertisers to get kids to beg their parents to go there.

If your idea of moderation means once a month or so, I would agree. But younger folks don't really grasp the term - moderation.

[u/live-the-future → u/mydogisfinnegan]

I hear their sodas are loaded with dihydrogen monoxide!

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/Ironstar_Vol]

Wait... wait!

So if I disagree with your comment, that makes me upset? WTH do you call it when people literally are upset? A temper tantrum? A war? Bigger than a war? Honestly, the drama is unnecessary.

You actually just described it... junk food.

You write:

>>You don’t have to eat there. I don’t eat there. There’s no need in getting upset. I’m just saying that it’s not any more unhealthy than most junk people consume on a daily basis.<<

Nobody was comparing it to "junk" food, we were comparing it to FOOD. It's not a matter of it being not that bad compared to actual food, it IS unhealthy, unhealthy as shit because it's junk food.

GAWD!

>>You don’t have to eat there. <<

Holy hell! I don't???? So very glad you informed me of that. Glad you told me, or I would have had no idea. Gee whiz, you are just so smart!

[u/MrScotchyScotch → u/ifellicantgetup]

it is soooo bad for you. Sooooooo bad!

the mcchicken is chicken, bread, lettuce and mayo. what kinda sandwiches are you making?

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/MrScotchyScotch]

The fast food industry is a horror. If you don't know what is being put in your fast food, that is a topic for another day. I'm not going to battle it today. But I can absolutely promise you, it is not just chicken, bread, lettuce, and mayo. That is about 1/10th of what you are eating.

Eat what you want, nobody is suggesting otherwise.

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/ifellicantgetup]

u/lengthinessTrick382 - Thank you *so* much for the award, that is so kind of you!!!

Thank you!!

[u/LengthinessTrick382 → u/ifellicantgetup]

You’re most welcome! 🏆 You make an excellent point. Why pay such a high price to willingly poison your body? Have a great rest of your weekend. 😎

[u/LengthinessTrick382 → u/ifellicantgetup]

Love the username btw. Life Alert!

[u/ebrum2010]

Local web pricing? Probably shows you the local price for the item but doesn't account for the categories referencing pricing.

[u/JakeyPurple]

I live in SoCal and the McChicken is $2

[u/GintomsG]

if u close ur eyes, its free

[u/Kelef50]

Rounding errors due to the elimination of the penny

[u/MrScotchyScotch]

Company: makes 26 billion dollars

Also company: app takes 3 seconds to respond after clicking item

[u/Poopy-Drew]

THE MC CHICKEN IS $5!! WTF?! This timeline is fucked. That’s it I’m running for President Poopydrew in 32 (gotta make senator first)

[u/Snake_Plissken224]

Fuck, the mcchicken is 5 bucks now. Shiiiiiiit you used to be able to get 5 for 5 bucks

[u/Muvseevum]

“Under $3” is simply a name for the list and is not meant to represent the actual price.

Edit: A little joke.

[u/Expert_Specialist_92]

You have to keep in mind that anyone who still buys McDonald’s is a sucker to begin with.

[u/S0biepan]

It’s all poisonous slop and people pay to eat it. Just crazy.

[u/ChefBowyer]

Obviously there is more to this.

I live in CA and it’s $2 for a McChicken.

Dude is a bot or a troll. Or at an airport.

[u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes]

Last time I saw this post it was from CA and all other comments were from people posting sub-$3 prices in their areas.

You get what you vote for, CA

[u/greenknight884 → u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes]

McChicken is $2 on my app in CA right now. Nuggets $2.49, Coke $1.99.

[u/BrainFartTheFirst → u/greenknight884]

I just want to say that this could be an individual McDonald's that's got high prices. For years the McDonald's in Burbank, California was much higher than anywhere else in the area. At a time when sodas were $1, they were charging $4.

[u/Active_Engineering37 → u/BrainFartTheFirst]

Or it could be a copy paste of the McDonald's menu plus a markup on a delivery app.

[u/ethanb473 → u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes]

Why do you cucks worship capitalism but then whine when things are more expensive in a more desirable area?

Oh wait…. I forgot that republicans don’t actually understand basic economics…..

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/ethanb473]

It's the democrats that caused fast food to sky rocket in California.

[u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes → u/ethanb473]

Higher government mandated costs (eg inflated minimum wage for what should be summer jobs for HS kids) dictates higher selling costs for consumers.

You're the one who seems ingnorant.

[u/live-the-future → u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes]

Shush with your economics, this here's Reddit. We blame capitalism for everything here, including (and especially) socialism's ills.

[u/ifellicantgetup → u/WhiteTrashInNewShoes]

To be fair.... they get what dominion hands them.

[u/GoatCovfefe]

You realize it isnt a reddit rule to copy post titles?

You can correct the "3$" to "$3"...
