McFlation

McFlation During my trip to St.Louis I made my annual visit to McDonald’s because my daughter requested McSalad. I was disappointed that inflation continues to devastate McValue “dollar” menu. You used to be able to get medium French fries in a cardboard package, and now it’s downgraded to small fries in a little paper bag.
Very old people would be able to recite McDonald’s original prices:
hamburgers–15 cents; cheeseburgers–19 cents; fries–10 cents; soft drinks–10 cents and 15 cents; coffee–5 cents; and shakes–20 cents.
With higher prices and crappy food there shouldn’t be any reason to go to McDonald’s, while we have plenty of local hamburger joints such as Town Topic, Harold’s and Winstead’s.

    I’ve told my children that they will never again eat McDonald’s (when I’m around) from now on. Not when we can get better food at a better restaurant for the same money. I’ll leave McDonald’s up to the grandparents.

    my daughter (age 11) refuses to eat there. only when we are driving somewhere and she only orders a salad. I guess years of my constant bitching about fast food payed off.

    Smaks was the real deal, 19 cents for a hamburger, they went away before you got here.

    I have an affinity for something called a Maid-Rite. Started in Iowa, it’s a loose-meat sandwich. Think sloppy joe without the slop. It’s the sandwich served with a spork. Cara and I have road-tripped to get these, but no more! Now they’re opening up a Maid-Rite store in Gladstone. The fries are not so great, but the fried cheese curds can be good if not overdone and the burger is fine, everytime.

    Fudruckers is home of the orgasmic hamburger. A little steep for a burger, but definitely worth it.

    I’ve always been a fan of LC’s burgers myself, but that’s a local place.

    duly noted

    When you come out west, eat at In N Out. The best quick burger around.

    Smacks was the shit! We used to go to the one in Ward Parkway Shopping center all the time.
