Something like almost a decade ago I went to McDonalds and discovered it wasn't really that much cheaper than other food options, particularly fast casual options, not really. At that point I had already reduced eating at McDonalds to once per year, but yeah, the whole point of fast food is it's supposed to be the cheap option.

Yeah…I dropped fast food for real food.
