      I don’t know the old value meal at McDonald’s was pretty great. 5 bucks Canadian for a McDouble or junior chicken, fries and a pop.

      Outside of staying in your basement your entire life, can you name a few restaurants giving you 1200cals/1/2lbs of Burger fries and drink for $12?

        Any mom and pop imbiss in Europe will cook you a freshly made meal for that price. A Schnitzel with Fries in Germany or Austria, half a chicken with Fries, a Kebap almost everwhere in Europe (although it’s about $15 in Switzerland but that’s an outlier), fish and chips in the UK, ….

        There’s lots and lots of options that are vastly superior to McDonalds, Burger King, KFC and the likes.

          Where, link it. And linking 400 calories of breaded chicken ain’t the same as a half pound burger. Where are you getting 1200+cals make for $12?

            Just eat 300g of pure sugar with the chicken if you want to up the calories and get the whole unhealthy fast food experience.

              It’s a salty burger with salty fries. There is some added sugar in the bread but I got need for you, plenty of bread (even the Euro bread) has some added sugar. Certainly not health food but you started off with schnitzel 🤷‍♂️.

    I kind of like Wendys, better than Dairy Queen, but in this economy I can make better food at home for less money.
