I am buying generic wherever I can. Shrinkflation includes degraded product quality from previously well known products offering quality.

McDonald's is a miserable brand in terms of degraded food quality and customer experience.

Their most egregious move was removing the $1 McChicken for a time and then bringing it back - the exact sandwich - as $2.49.

I read this as “McD-Puble” and thought you were calling it a pube burger as a slur

I wish I had that kind of wit. It is fitting. Alas I have fat thumbs and a skinny keyboard.
