McDonald’s customers criticize the franchise and are angry that it is “no longer affordable”

However, others left comments in defense of McDonald’s, telling Olive that he ordered a deluxe burger and could have gotten a different meal for less.

“His brothers ordered their most expensive meal and acted surprised,” declared one defender.

“You sound like those baby boomers who complained about $5 popcorn,” said another.

However, Olive isn’t the only one who has gone viral about the cost of McDonald’s meals.

In March, a Connecticut creator expressed outrage over a $16.89 Big Mac combo meal at a fast food restaurant in Viral clip.

“You remember their stimulus checks? You thought you were going to get away with that stimulus money, right? They want it back,” he quipped.

And angry TikTokers aren’t the only ones being pressured over pricing. A viral Reddit thread asks: “What’s no longer worth it because it’s too expensive?” Highlighting consumer dissatisfaction with fast food costs.

Redditors have decried that the restaurant chain has “become ridiculously expensive” recently, with some users claiming that a McDonald’s meal would occupy customers as much as a sit-down establishment.

Gone are the days when hungry patrons could grab a hearty breakfast of two Egg McMuffins for $3, calling one in, or when the dollar menu was full of items available for just $1.
