$18 BIG MAC COMBO?! Super-Sized Fast Food Prices Off The Charts 

If anyone pays 18 dollars for a Big Mac.... they deserve it.

The Dollar Store is now $1.25. I’m no economist, but I’m pretty sure that is a 25% increase.

Nobody wants to pay for garbage anymore

$18 and it’s still 80% fake meat

Yes, the prices of fast food have risen. But at least the quality of that food has also gotten significantly worse.

It wasn't the pandemic. It was the overreaction to the pandemic. Followed by the current admin's bad policies.

first good info i've heard in a while. STOP BUYING FAST FOOD

Grocery prices are completely out of control as well.

Subway used to be the "go to" for me and my three sons following a weeknight little league game. But, when four six inch sandwiches, chips, and drinks set me back nearly $50, we had to cross Subway off the list.

Go to a local restaurant. They're better, and now likely cheaper.

McDonald's Corp blaming franchise owners for raising prices is a bit disingenuous. The corporation charges the franchise owners rent on the ground they're building is built on and Corp are raising the rent.

Not the Big Mac you wanted, but the Big Mac you voted for... 😆

99¢ 4 pc nugget? Try $2.69. thanks Joe 😑

Did you know you could save thousands by making your own samich?

Just more reason to avoid fast food.

The McDonalds in my neighborhood charges $4 for a cheeseburger. A CHEESEBURGER! No lettuce. No tomato. Just meat cheese and bread....$4!! You could buy a whole pack of ground beef for that and make 4 burgers at home. I remember when they were like a $1.50 a few years ago.

Going out to eat anywhere is at least $20+ for a meal

The worst offender is Taco Bell. I used to be able to eat there with the change in my cupholder. The good news is that real restaurants just went up a little

Stopped eating out for the most part …cooking at home

Go to farmers market, pitch in with your neighbour and ditched those poison fast food. You USAn KNOWS it is bad for you! Start buying lokal mom and pops food stall again. F those corporate poison sellers.

It’s blatant corporate greed at this point

Never doubt Bri’s ability to tie Gaza into literally every segment.

Lower budget chains saw what Five Guys was doing and assumed their customer base would just accept high quality pricing for low quality food.

Starbucks didn't have the same sort of price spike because they were already charging $3 for a cup of coffee that costs 15¢ in supplies and 14¢ in labor.

Strange BJG doesn't mention wage increase... 🤔

Burger King has done well with their prices while McDonalds next door became more expensive than ordering a steak dinner.

I haven't eaten any fast food so far this year, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Isn't this a good thing as it will be less fast food eaten? A healthier america?

The silver lining is that now real food costs the same as fast food! The rusty lining is of course that now sh!te "food" costs the same as real food.

“2020 supply chain issues” No. 2020 = printed an insane about of money. That’s why we have inflation

If fast food prices are no longer significantly lower than going to a sit-down restaurant, are they betting that people will continue coming there for just the addictive taste bud explosion of fast food?

Sure am glad i dont smoke herb anymore 😂.

Fast food has out priced itself definitely not worth it

Crazy, they brought up "Super Size Me," And one day later, the creator of that documentary died of cancer... RIP Morgan Spurlock...

You get what you vote for

I didn’t think that Bri could find a way to bring Gaza into this conversation, but I stand corrected

I used to pay $11 for my favorite salad at sweet greens, that includes the add-ons that I like. Now it’s closer to $15.

No one can deny inflation. it's not something you can lie about.

How do you guys leave out that McDonalds has completely dropped their "healthier" options, like grilled chicken. It took decades of pressure to get them to add these items and they dropped them during the pandemic and they never returned.

The economy has nothing to do with why I don’t buy fast food lol

For $18... I'm going to a Buffet

Blame the Federal Reserve, period.

A Box combo at Cane’s is TWELVE F’N DOLLARS right now.

Here in ca with the minimum wage law in effect it's crazy. I'm not a frequent McDonald's customer but I love their sweet tea, (half cut) pre inflation and CA law a sweet tea and mc chicken (both dollar menu items) was about $2 and change. Now it's like $4.38, it's not the most expensive meal but it's doubled overall.

It's just as the movie Demolition Man predicted. Tacobell will be the only fastfood chain to survive because they were the only ones that could afford to keep their prices low 😂

Haven't eaten anything Fast Food in years. Have no interest in garbage food. Cost is irrelevant.

When I was working in NYC in the 1990s, my co-workers and I all brought lunch from home unless the company was treating us for some event. A lot of times it was just leftovers from dinner the night before that we ate as a group in a conference room and cleaned up after. Even in some places with a corporate cafeteria run by Mariott, I brought my own food. It's just a cultural habit.

It used to be a treat to take your kids thru the drive thru. We are a joyless society now.

MCDONALDS is MC-PRICE-GAUGING!

I had no idea people ate this much fast food.

McCancer 🍔

McDonalds on I-5 in Northern California: $14.99 for a Big Mac Meal. This isn't isolated to a few stores.

Taco Bell is the one that is too expensive

For me, my enjoyment of restaurant quality/take out has decreased significantly over the years. I find the quality to be much worse than before 2020, but even compared to the 2000's, fast food quality has been on a steady decline. A lot of staff just don't get paid enough or get treated well enough by employer or consumer to put any love into the food, and it shows. Costs and burden have been passed down to "consumers" and the people who provide labor to make profits for these companies. Shrinkflation, inflation, supply chain ingredient quality, excessive food processing - these companies and this industry as a whole cannot sustainably prioritize food quality, ingredient quality, or the labor experience and pay of their staff. Better off making your own food as much as possible and even growing your own ingredients when possible.

Last year, I had a chicken sandwich, no fries, and a medium drink from McDonald’s, and it cost me $12.

About the same price I pay for a pub burger that's actually cooked fresh to order.

This is what happens, when you force McDonalds to pay $20/hour. Now the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds, can't afford McDonalds.

As much as I can respect someone for liking a good ball pit. Those things were festering cesspits by the time they got rid of them.

I remember when you could get a big mac MEAL for less than 5 dollars. This is insane. Anybody paying that much for that dogfood is doing so willingly. You could buy almost a whole dozen eggs with that much money in today's economy!!

The crazy thing is I went to get a fruit salad, and it was $15 now, and I was at the supermarket .

Weird, I feel like Ron Paul has been warning us that this would happen if the government kept printing and spending at astronomical rates...

Buy at local restaurants they need your business more anyway.

If we go to a restaurant they want you to tip. Not worth it.

What happened since 2019? It's mostly a money problem. The Fed doubled the money supply since then, and remember our money is backed by nothing. What is a house worth? Well in the 1950s it was worth about $7,000. It's also worth one average house. Today's average house is worth closer to $450,000 but the value is the same. One house is worth one house. It's the money that changed.

As a delivery driver since before the pandemic I will tell you that the people ordering and where are they order from has vastly changed. McDonald's are cutting themselves off at the knees. ( Have you seen their fish filet lately?) They are not cheaper than anyone else anymore yet how do the others maintain their prices better? Just one of many observations.

All predicted when minimum wages jumped $5.00 in one year

3% inflation rate😂😂😂 yeah more like profits coming from higher prices.

Here in Silicon Valley the Big Mac meal's been around $18 for the past year, maybe longer.

If you ate only McDonald's every day but only the max calories recommended, you'd be HUNGRY And sick as well

I can't remember the last time I ate fast food. I make my own, which is cheaper and much more healthier

Prices are set by supply and demand. Companies will charge as much as people prove themselves willing and able to pay. These higher prices are the consequence of printing trillions and trillions of dollars in a couple of years. Fortunately, nobody is forced to buy or eat fast food. It's possible to feed yourself for 5 bucks a day with staples like rice, beans, eggs, chicken, milk, potatoes, etc. Way cheaper and way healthier.

Fast food skyrocketing prices lately is mostly wage driven.

YOU CAN GET 4.5. POUNDS OF GROUND BEEF AT WALMART FOR 18 DOLLARS!

BJG talking about seed oils... confirmed that she is right wing now 😂😂😂

Cost of goods and labor skyrocketed. Plus lease rates.

Kinda feel as though people who are having to cut fast food out of their lives and it's a large impact are probably not going to be going grocery shopping for the healthiest foods either

Greedflation

When I was a kid our school had hamburger Fridays so you could bring 50 cents to school and they would get McDonald's hamburgers for the kids that paid. I would bring a dollar and 2 slices of cheese from home and make mine cheeseburgers😊

During quarantine, gas was $1.12/per gallon at discount stores; and $1.56/per gallon everywhere else. Food is more expensive now because people are greedy. Period.

At this rate, MacDonald's will be more expensive than Salt Bae.

According to Reuters - that Starbucks in Ireland did NOT rebrand to “Vista coffee” to sell Starbucks coffee. That was just a viral post that was wrong…. Do us all a favor - don’t just share something because you want it to be true. That cheapens the power of social media.

I wonder if all the boycotts affect sales?

Does anyone believe it's possible for Briahna to get through a segment without mentioning Gaza, even a discussion about fast food prices in the US somehow is connected to the plight of the Palestinians, amazing

I miss the $5 footlong. It is now the $15 footlong. VOTE JILL STEIN 2024!

The blame is on Nixon killing gold and every government since printing money. It only got worse with the biggest ever 2008 and 2020 payouts to Wallstreet.

If you still eat fast food, well that's on you.

I just ate at a fancy restaurant and had a huge 1/2 lb fancy burger with sweet potato fries for 19 dollars!!

Fast food prices have gone through the roof, that's no mirage. Way more than the "official" inflation figures.

FUNNY.... The Blue Ribbon Burger is $18 at RED ROBIN and I think I'd rather EAT there!

What Robbie sees as manipulative is 😅. The rest of us saw Macdonald's as manipulative.

Yes. McDonalds has gotten so expensive, we go there much less. $5 for a med coke and their smallest burger

i thought wars and sanctions caused all this craziness. when did that start?????

$5.99 for pink slime. They had nugz on the dollar menu for years. Such a greedy scam.

It’s because of Biden 🤣🤣..It’s okay to say it..

LOL, Fast food making the healthier options look affordable, a better option now. No more excuses for choosing fast food over real food.

Robby, No one gains weight eating broccoli, don’t be silly.

Wow McDonald’s really tryna lie about raised prices.

Russia ditched American junk food

Nothing to do with wages. Bidennomics

Does the migrant factor contribute to food proce increases???? Suppjy snd Demand
