    You can bet McDonald’s is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal.

    They’ve done mcrib, celeb deal, Minecraft movie promo, and now chicken strips are back.

    Yeah. Red flags. They’re desperate.

    Their current ‘2nd item for $1’ is an ok deal right now. But this makes me think that won’t last.

    2 sausage muffins and 2 hash browns for like $7. Throw some hot picante salsa on there and you have deal. Without that deal? It’s like $13.

      Yeah but how many years ago was it that an order of hash browns used to have two?? They’re just “giving a deal” on what used to be the baseline.

        Oh I’m not disagreeing. It’s shit.

        But even without the has browns, two sausage muffins for ~$3.50 is solid. It’s what I expect.

        Sadly it’s the bottom barrel best deal going.

            Yep! Adding a hashbriwn to each for ~$2.50 + $1.00 more is what makes it ~$7.

            And for two sausage, hash brown, spicy salsa and cheese muffins? I mean damn.

            But yeahz seeing all these promos makes me know this is in the cutting block.

      They even stopped selling McHash in Sweden like over a year ago. The only thing that I’d have any desire to eat from their breakfast menu, and they kill it. I even asked their support why they killed it, and I got no real explanation.

      I thought that it’s maybe to be able to clean out their deep fryer? Nah, as they still sell normal french fries during breakfast!

      Is this an American thing? In Japan and Singapore, they have seasonal limited specials every month or so. It’s not really a “when they’re doing badly” kinda thing.
