McDonalds has a multinational presence, along with taking regional pricing into account (meaning the prices of food items differ and adjusted based on GDP per capita), like a Big Mac is $6 before tax while the same is $2 in another country.
The menu is different by country (certain menu items are only available in that region, like how Japan has burgers with teriyaki sauce or rice buns) along with the menu being around ¥1500 for a tray while the same is $40 in the US.
I mean, have you tried McDonalds overseas? If so, is it cheaper when you consider regional pricing and what item do you wish was available at US McDonalds but only remains in that country? Is McDonalds in other countries better or worse?
But… It’s consistent!
So are my stools.
Not if you eat at McDonald’s!
I rarely do, but occasionally succumb to the call of the double quarter-pounder. I know it’s objectively awful, but the cravings don’t care. I call it a regret burger.
Remember when the quarter-pounders had their own larger bun?
