Their food has been trash since covid started (i'm sure some will say sooner)
The snack wraps went off the market, the selects are gone, the nuggets are thinner and more flakey
And i'm sure they just want to make it more difficult to get a drink without ice so they can give as little as possible.
It was never good, just priced properly to match the shitty quality.
Actually mcdonalds is way better than it used to be decades ago. It still blows me away how bk fell so much in quality (this may be just in the cities or my city) while mcDeesnuts rose. Not that its good now, but its been worse.
Maybe it's regional, but I cannot possibly fathom why you would think Mcdonalds would be better. There's two mcdonalds in my area, i've visited 3, and all of them have fewer options than they did 4 years ago, and whats still there is definitely worse than it was back then.
Like I certainly gave it a chance, but there were times when I couldn't even finish the nuggets and was starting to feel sick. I went from 10 nuggets to 6 nuggets to just looking for other places to eat.
They greatly improved the quarter pounder while back and they went to much more of a cook to order process. Again not saying they are good just that back in the 80's they were really crappy. Back then other fast food places would make fun of heat lamps with thier competitors and they meant mcdonalds who actually did use them extensively. Back then BK always cooked to order unless they were completely slammed. Overall for the fast food that is pretty much available everywhere I think wendys has kept up quality the best but they have still missed a step or two over the years. I agree with some other sentiments though. At this point I can grab a real burrito or burger at a non frachise place and its not much more but waaayyyyy better.
80s???????
I'm thinking like 4 years ago not 40
yeah yeah and I got that. Its just that they used to be so bad I had to point that out. As bad as they are, they have been waaayyyy worse. And could be again.
My experience was the opposite. I hate all fast food burgers so my opinion is based on chicken sandwiches but BK has always been so gross to me. Soggy and flavorless. I had it most recently like 2 years ago and I was kicking myself for going there
The McDonald's chicken sandwich is OK. Not the best but acceptable. However the only thing I order there is breakfast (bacon egg and cheese bagel) which is more expensive than it's worth but still tasty
Snackwraps were one of the best menu items anywhere. Such a shame they're gone
Old nuggets make me question all the life decisions I made which led me to get McDonald's chicken nuggets.
Fresh nuggets? Pure crack. I find myself having to talk myself down from buying another 10 piece.
Maybe the employees at your McDonald's are cooking too many early on and giving you old nuggets. But I promise you. If you show up 10 minutes before closing and request a 20 piece and force those poor people to cook you some fresh, they are still amazing.
I've had the exact opposite experience. McDs has gotten worse, BK has gotten significantly better(except the nuggets, those still suck).
yeah that might be true in the last year. Im looking at it from the last several decades. So it depends a bit on the time scale. I dunno maybe I have the old personas nostalgia but seriously man I feel bad for younger folks not tasting chocolate or bannanas or a whopper or a suzeQ the way they used to be. Heck I begrudge not being a decade or two older to have experienced the real good stuff. More and more its like we are getting closer to eating straight up plastic.
Wendy's had the same snack wraps and were a million times better. Then both went away when covid started and I was sad... Wendy's has a new one now but it's super expensive and tastes terrible. I feel like the selects where only ever good the first time they released which was like 20 years ago, never liked them when they came back... as for the nuggets your crazy! Still the same and still love them, it's the only thing I don't mind getting from them every once in a while. Everything else is meh, and the chicken sandwiches are gross.
